My friends,
I hope this message finds you safe, warm and in good spirits! I've not had the opportunity to exhibit new work due to the constraints of the pandemic, but I've been working on new and creative ways to share my work with you and others.

NEW : I will be participating in the International ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE program on my Instagram page. The ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE program is a generous culture and dynamic economy in support of artists and makers during the pandemic. The concept, originally created in March 2020 by UK artist Matthew Burrows, is a simple one, I post images of my work to sell for NO MORE than $200 USD. Anyone can then buy the work. Every time I reach $1,000 of sales, I pledge to buy another participating artist/s work for $200. You are welcome to follow my posts on Instagram or choose from the works listed under Artist Support Pledge on my website. You can also follow other participating artists worldwide by following #artistsupportpledge.

I just restocked a selection of designer face masks, scarves and greeting cards on my website listed under Shop New Products. You're welcome to request a custom scarf if you see something else you'd like to have printed, just let me know.

New face masks, scarves and greeting card designs.

Last, the website is updated with New Works; many are materials experiments and new ideas emerging out of my research into the origins of consciousness (quite the covid rabbit hole!) My Reading List has been updated as well if you're looking for a good book to dive into and get lost.

Thanks for your generous support and continued interest in my work. Warm regards and good health to you in this promising new year,

My friends,
I hope you are in good health and staying positive.

Over the past few months, I've been looking for creative ways to support my family and have been testing out new materials and ideas I would not have time to do otherwise. After looking through the artwork and materials I had in inventory, I was able to finish and prepare over a dozen small works priced under $300 each (includes free shipping and up-cycled framing). I carefully prepared each painting by hand with UV varnishes, painted edges and archival framing supplies. Please take a look in my shop if you'd like to preview the sale before I start sharing these works on Facebook and Instagram next week. The 5x7's make great gifts and are perfect for any spot that might need a little extra color or interest. Preview the SALE here.

In other news, I've been collaborating with Redbubble on a collection of new products including seven custom designed scarves, greeting cards, postcards, and non-medical grade fitted face masks. I'm awaiting the samples for review and if they pass QC, I'll follow up in a new post with my blessing and a link to the store. Your purchase not only provides covid relief to the artist, but will also help support mask wearing during the pandemic and the US Post Office when you mail your postcards and letters.

As always, I'm appreciative of your interest in my work. If you have a little time, please take a moment to browse the new work from the past few months; I'm always interested to hear your feedback and comments.

Stay safe and hang in there!
