RECENT NEWS
12/4 : Just doing some renovations to the site. In other news I will be featured in the magazing "Studio Visit" which will be comming out in February of 2009. Also for anyone in Tucson, dont forget to stop by the Union Gallery and see the Graduate show currently installed there. Congrats to my friend Shara for MFA thesis show last weekend, it looked great!!!!
8/27: WE ARE IN THE NEWS!!!!!!
Just wanted to let everyone know that Facing Front was just covered in the Tucson Weekly August 28th daily newspaper. Click the catalog image below and follow links to read the article. It is a wonderful write-up by the local art critic Margaret Reagan.
8/11: Well I have been working my but off and finally everything is ready for my exhibition opening this Friday. The show is entitled "Facing Front" and is a collaboration with the University of Arizona Dance Dept. The exhibit confronts viewers with multiple layers of visual expression in an attempt to curb the "Facing Front" attitude of stage dance and traditional gallery hangings. Featuring live dance, painting, drawing, video manipulation and sculpture, this exhibit offers a surplus of visual stimuli, which reveal the many connections between various forms of artistic expression. 6/8: Been a while but things are going well for me. I am currently teaching Drawing one and two at Cochise College in Sierra Vista, so I have been a little busy. Thanks again to everyone who made it to Barrios last friday, it was a great time as always. I recently added some new paintings to the New Paintings page. These are my favorite works done since arriving in AZ. I am currently working on a run of paintings that utilize pin hole photography so I am very excited about working this summer. This weekend I am going up to Las Vegas to visit my freind and see Stone Temple Pilots on thier reunion tour. I cant wait!!
I am also preparing for my exhibition at the Union Gallery in August. This show will be a collaboration with Professor Doug Neilsen from the U of A Dance Department. I should be a great experience. There will be three events and improvisational dances based on the work exhibited. More info on that later in the summer.
4/10: Thanks to all that could make it to the Fedmont show. I am currently working on some pretty interesting video material that i will hopefully have posted on the site in the next month, so keep your eyes open. Also i will be participating in an Exhibit in Albuquerque New Mexico at the Harwood Center for the arts this summer. Ill have more info on that later as well. Posted some new pics in the drawing section and prob. going to add some more on myspace so check it out.
Later
