Silver Ink Drawing Demonstration September 18th from 6-7pm

September 10, 2024 in Demonstration, Gallery North

Join me for an exclusive live drawing demonstration at Gallery North in North Adams, MA, Wednesday, September 18th 6-7pm! I’ll be showcasing my unique silver ink on black panel technique, walking you through the entire process—from panel preparation to composition design. This year, my silver pen work has caught a lot of attention, and I'm excited to give you an in-depth look at the innovations that have made it stand out. If you're curious about trying it yourself, supplies will be available for purchase at the gallery.

Painting Demonstration at Frelinghuysen Morris House & Studio Friday, 8/19 @ 11am

August 15, 2022 in Demonstration

I will be giving a demonstration of my oil glazing technique on the beautiful grounds of Frelinghuysen Morris House & Studio (FMH&S) in Lenox, MA this Firday, 8/19. I will be there between 11am and 1pm, but no one has to sit for the whole thing! If you have always wondered how my work is made or are interested in the art process in general this is a great time to come see it and take in a wonderful museum at the same time. (For full disclosure, I am Assistant to the Director at FMH&S, so expect me to sing their praises.)

The demonstration is included with any admission to FMH&S. Purchase your tickets on their website or follow the link here.

Frelinghuysen Morris House & Studio is a modern style house museum built by two abstract painters most known for their work in the 1930s and 40s when they were pivotal in the development of abstract art in America. Beyond helping develop American abstract art, they were also avid collectors of modern paintings including work by Braque, Picasso, Gris, and Leger. The house is open, by hourly guided tours only, from 10-3 Thursday through Friday. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the arts.
