Jacobs, Bruce Panock, Jennifer Pazienza, Edward Pelkey, Janet Pumphrey, Wendy Rabinowitz, Mary Carol Rudin, Sean McCusker, Scott Taylor, Robert U. Taylor and Robert Wilk.

After a year of planning, and painting, I am proud to announce my latest solo show on display at PUBLIC Eat + Drink. The show is on display from December, 2017, to April, 2018. PUBLIC is a fantastic restaurant located just down the street from Mass MoCA with beautiful brick walls to hang on. Stop by, have some food, and feed your soul with the latest of my oil paintings.
For this show I completed six new, two foot square, paintings making the main dining area a large cohesive exhibit. The square format is a difficult one to balance and I used this notion as a challenge in creating each of these works of art. I am proud to be a part of PUBLIC and prouder of the latest creations born of this opportunity. Please check out the exhibit and let me know what you think about the new work.

I am having my annual show at Steven Valenti's this November! I will be showing some of my latest paintings, their actually drying in the studio as I type, as part of the First Fridays Artswalk. If you were able to come to any of the painting demos I gave this year, you will recognize some of them. Please stop by this Friday, 11/6, for the reception and let me know what you think.

My latest exhibit Elegant Line is on view at Deidre's Special Day in Pittsfield, MA. The show will run from June 3 to June 27 with a reception held during the First Fridays Artswalk on June 5th from 5-8pm.
For this exhibit I am showing my line drawings which are seldom on display outside of my studio. There are a couple of Conté drawings in the showing but the focus of the show is on my silver on black line drawings. You will recognize the themes in these works, but the lack of color and unmasked line gives these works a gesture and movement that is not as forefront as my oil works.
I'm very excited for this exhibit and do hope you have the opportunity to come tell me what you think of it during the reception on Friday, June 5th. If you can't make it to the reception, feel free to comment on this post, I'd love to have your the feedback!

Having just recently opened their new “Social Butterfly” department, DEIDRE’S is excited to showcase their new line of non-bridal related attire, featuring party / cocktail dresses for all occasions.
