I hope you are enjoying the quiet times between the years as much as I do.

My new work is on it's way to Miami; Red Dot opens tomorrow, Tuesday 11/30. More news and pictures are posted on the Hang Gallery website.

I will spend part of this winter traveling but feel free to email me- also, my studio is still open by appointment.

HEREAFTER

This is the new Clint Eastwood movie - with some of my artwork in it... check it out:

Within their selection of art from Hang Gallery, Warner Bros. had three or four of mine when they were filming in San Francisco earlier this year. I don't know if or when they show up in the actual movie and it was pure luck that City Sky #21 is so visible in the trailer.

All pieces are sold. If you own one of them, you must go see the movie for sure.

Will be in theaters October 22 2010.

Thank you all for a great show

The Genius Loci show has come down, I am working on new figures and am almost back to my painting routine after the summer break.

The Opening was amazing, I can't believe how many of you came, thank you thank you! I don't have many photos, unfortunately, so if someone happened to take some by any chance, please email them to me.
