Earlier this year I was selected as 1 of just over 100 greater Portland artists who will open their studios for 2 weekends in mid October to one and all for a behind the scenes peek and work and process! Get you guidebook and tickets here:

I look forward to seeing you all!

I was recently contacted to be part of a muli-disciplinary art happening...(RAWARTISTS puts together multi-media art events around the globe sourcing regional artists to participate)...in Portland, Oregon...this coming March...stay tuned, or visit their website at: rawartists.org, to get tickets, check out their site, or submit your own work for future events...seems pretty cool so far...stay tuned..

Juror Scott Lawrimore, or the University of Washington's Jacob Lawrence Gallery, and former Deputy Director of the Frye Art Museum, chose me and 29 other finalists out 1000+ submissions, to be part of his curated show for Gallery 110's 5th annual juried exhibition, coming in February 2015 to Gallery 110, in Seattle, WA.....life is good.

I was also fortunate to catch the eye of Ian Brooks- a man with a blog...who's blog spotllights art,comics, and other creative endeavors...he's pretty witty too...Thanks Ian!

Check out his blog from the cold north of Anchorage, AK. here:

I made a short trip up to Seattle this August to present work in progress resulting from my proposal for THE LARRY SOMMERS FELLOWSHIP last year through Seattle Print Arts. The people from Seattle Print Arts, as well as the people from SEIU Labor Union to which Larry Sommers was a member, were some of the warmest and most genuine people one could expect to meet at any given art event. It was my first presentation in front of an audience, so it was the best possible scenario I could have hoped for. Thanks again Seattle Print Arts, and SEIU Labor Union!

Earlier this year I applied for the Larry Sommer's Grant at Seattle Print Arts...While I did not receive the actual grant, Seattle Print Arts Larry Sommer's Grant committee was enthusiastic enough about my work that they awarded me a $500.00 Honorarium to encourage my further work. Thank you Seattle Print Arts!

Recently I entered my drawing FLOTSAM into a juried show via Heavybubble (another web hosting site)...I was selected as 1 of 13 finalists nation wide!!! Unfortunately, due to prolonged illness I was unable to frame and ship my piece to Philly in time for the final judging!!! I was really bummed, but such is the luck of the draw, fate, what have you...c'est la vie....

I recently turned in a piece for a book for FLOAT ON, a local sensory deprivation tank location. Where you can float in a high saline tank in total darkness...totally sound proof...it was a really memorable experience!!!
They are publishing a book of art created by artists specifically inspired by time spent in their tanks...in return for free float time.

Release date is coming ..(May?)...you can contact FLOAT ON to pre-ordera copy of the book. (They have decided to use my piece for the cover...sweet!)
