2009 - ending of another year!

With 2009 coming close to an end, I have been looking back at my portfolio and planning what is ahead.

3 New Years Resolutions:
1. quality over quantity
2. redesign of website to include my whole portfolio
3. more collaborations

group exhibition: "FRIDGIDART"

painting: "for/four friendship"

new series of work: "America, a Comedy"

The paintings in this series, "America a Comedy", are painted from photographs that I am taking of America's Funniest Home Videos. I found that there are many still frames that are truly surreal, and that like some of the Documentary work of Errol Morris...are proof of the strange and extraordinary occurrences in every day life.

"The Future"

"Transformation"
