MONOTHON 2011 @ CCP. November 19

October 18th, 2011 Comments Off

I’m heading into the Center For Contemporary Print Making
CCP on Friday to print. Most likely, I’ll be working and re-working my figurative shapes. I draw at NCC during the open sessions and then rework this imagery into monoprints. Wish me luck. I’m relatively new at printmaking. I love the process but never really know how things might go. Save the date.

November 19/Auction and Benefit
Silent and Live Auction Party/6:30-9 pm/$25.00 per person
Live auction from 8-9 pm info@contemprints.org

These are some of my recent figure drawings. While printing, I will use these as jumping off points and inspiration for expressive monoprints. I paint using etching inks, brushes, & rollers on a plexiglass plate. I then press these images onto paper/sometimes in two or three layers. These drawings will either be templates to start the process or I will use some of the lines, colors or shapes to spark a new direction and original print.

School is in Session

September 27th, 2011 Comments Off

From late August until October, I am busy preparing for my class. I teach foundation drawing at Norwalk Community College. As you know if you’ve taught in your life time, to be a good teacher takes a lot of time and effort. My private lessons, through Art Org 911, are filling my calendar as well. I have several enthusiastic artists happy to learn how to use CS 5 programs. Its all good. Once things settle into a nice routine, I’ll be working in the studio towards a spring show at 22 Haviland Street Gallery. Joe Fucigna, Chris Durante and I plan to exhibit in March. My plan is to have many more Fictive Beings painted.

Nudes

August 23rd, 2011 Comments Off

The Art Show on Sunday went well at Roton Point. I was especially grateful to get such positive feedback for my art and the newest work I’m focused on. My selection of drawings and prints of nudes was appreciated too. That was rewarding, since I love to draw the figure and never know quite where to place them when approaching galleries.

CCNS Show/New Paintings

May 22nd, 2011 Comments Off

i will be exhibiting new work in Rowayton CT in June.
CCNS ART SHOW /June 9-12 (more samples of my work are attached below)

The website ccnsartshow.com describes the show on their home page as:
This spring, CCNS will once again convert the ‘little red schoolhouse in Rowayton’ into a professional art gallery showcasing over 100 local and nationally recognized artists. The French Salon style Art Show offers one of the biggest and most diverse selections of original art for sale in Fairfield County, attracting art buyers from all over the Northeast. Even if you are just browsing… it’s a weekend worth marking on your calendar.
I’ve shown here in the past but it has been a few years back. I focused these paintings on the coastal community I live by and love. There are a few new beach figure works. I have one luminous piece with a small white boat inspired from the Crescent Beach setting in Rowayton. There are naturally 2 marsh paintings based on our wetlands areas and Farm Creek. And there are a few more surprises that I hope everyone will enjoy. These quick photos do not do the lush painting surfaces of these works justice. So I guess you’ll just have to go see them in person. Enjoy!
