Dreaming of Light opening Friday, August 3rd, 5-8pm
This Friday, August 3rd, I will be holding a reception for my first solo show at the Lichtenstein Center for the Arts! Although I have had many solo shows in the past, none have been in a space quite this large. In preparation, I have made several new large scale paintings to fit the beautiful venue. As I am hoping to see many new faces at this reception, I will be giving a brief introduction to my work as part of the opening. The talk will start at 5:30pm, August 3rd, and I will be available the rest of the reception if anyone wants to ask questions one on one. If you cannot make the reception, the show will be on display from August 1st through August 31st, so make sure to stop in.

Art of the Hills, June 2nd opening!
in Exhibit
I was accepted into the Art of the Hills exhibit opening this Saturday, June 2nd from 5:30-7:30pm. This is a juried exhibit of Berkshire based artists. With over 200 artists submitting, and only 36 chosen, I am extremely honored to be represented in the exhibit. I haven't seen the other works entered, but knowing some of the artists this looks like a fantastic sample of the best the Berkshires has to offer.
And if one of my paintings isn't enough for you, stop by the Artful Mind Gallery at 22 Walker St., Lenox, MA for more of my work. New work every month through the summer! For more visit my earlier post.

I am pleased to announce I will be showing work in the Artful Mind Gallery in Lenox, MA from May through August. The gallery is brand new and will be showing the work of 17 artists, including myself. Stop in and see all of the amazing artwork the Berkshires has to offer!
The Artful Mind Gallery, located at 22 Walker Street in Lenox, MA that opens May 1, 2018 will showcase an enthusiastic and finely tuned professional and passionate group of seventeen artists. About her decision to bring these artists together in this particular location, Curator Harryet Puritzman explains that, “if the space weren’t as beautiful and complimentary for artists’ work to be seen and swooned over, then I would never have considered taking on this very special project,” a summer gallery space in the heart of Lenox.
The community and its visitors will be treated to the work of, Tyler Blodgett, Marguerite Bride, Roselle Chartock, Robert Forte, Susan Geller, Ghetta Hirsch, Karen S. Jacobs, Bruce Panock, Jennifer Pazienza, Edward Pelkey, Janet Pumphrey, Wendy Rabinowitz, Mary Carol Rudin, Sean McCusker, Scott Taylor, Robert U. Taylor and Robert Wilk.

Going Public!
in Exhibit
After a year of planning, and painting, I am proud to announce my latest solo show on display at PUBLIC Eat + Drink. The show is on display from December, 2017, to April, 2018. PUBLIC is a fantastic restaurant located just down the street from Mass MoCA with beautiful brick walls to hang on. Stop by, have some food, and feed your soul with the latest of my oil paintings.
For this show I completed six new, two foot square, paintings making the main dining area a large cohesive exhibit. The square format is a difficult one to balance and I used this notion as a challenge in creating each of these works of art. I am proud to be a part of PUBLIC and prouder of the latest creations born of this opportunity. Please check out the exhibit and let me know what you think about the new work.
Not enough to get you out to North Adams? Well, this establishment had plenty of space for more work so filling out the space are selections from past exhibits including older oil paintings as well as pastel and silver pen drawings. As always, all work is for sale!
Where: 34 Holden Street, North Adams, MA 01247
Dates: December 2017 to April 2018
Hours: Serves lunch Thursday - Sunday from 11:30am, + dinner 7 days from 4pm. The bar is open until midnight or later
