I'm Back!


HAPPY 2013!!!

I can't believe it has been over two years since I last updated this blog! I sure didn't plan for such a long hiatus, and didn't realize it has been so long... sometimes time seems to just fly by without us realizing it... I know I was busy, and searching, and not sure what is the next step, in terms of the direction my art will take. I've experimented, tried different things. I'm still exploring and experimenting - isn't life about discovery and exploration anyway? So I'll probably continue doing so. But at least now I feel that instead of jumping from one thing to the other, never making a commitment, I'm ready to be where I am, dig deeper, spend some time at this point before moving on to the next one. This is not just another New Year resolution, which have a tendency to be broken a few months or even weeks or days after. I cannot predict the future. All I can do is make my intention heard, and it's all I'm doing. I'll try to be more present. I'll make more, I'll post more. I'm going to post some of the work I've been making since the last time. Happy New Year!

To start, I'll post the mixed-media pieces which I showed in the art fair back in December 2010. They are three dimensional mixed-media pieces, a bit difficult to show well in photographs, because they are not sculptures, rather kind of relief pieces that hang on a wall. I made them using recycled plastic containers and fabric remnants, mounted with photographs of the city and painted/drew over them. Sizes are between about 9'-14' inches, and up to 2.5' inches deep. I called this series Citycycle:

Bill Evans Painting as publlic radio Jazz station logo

It's now official, I am honored to announce my painting "Submerged (Bill Evans)" was chosen by jazz89 KUVO Public Radio Denver as the stations design throughout 2009!
Which means the image will be used as the station's logo on everything representing it, including station T-Shirts, Letterhead, business cards, website, newsletter, wine bottles, advertising ads, and all produced KUVO related marketing materials throughout 2009!
KUVO is a 22 year old public radio station which is affiliated with NPR, has won many awards, among them the 2005 and 2006 Major Market Jazz Station of the Year! It is supported by donations, and the image of the painting will be distributed as part of the 'Thank You" gift the station gives to donors, either in the form of t-shirts, wine bottles or any other publication!
Although I live nowhere near the Denver, Colorado area, I've been enjoying listening to the station via the live web streaming on the station's website, I highly recommend listening to it if you like and enjoy Jazz and blues! Thank you, KUVO, for choosing my painting and for bringing this excellent music to the airwaves!
