"All Fall Down" won an Award of Excellence in the WVWS Aqueous 2015 National Juried Exhibition at the Stifel Fine Arts Center in Wheeling West Virginia. The show runs Thursday, July 2 through August 21, 2015.
This piece is about impermanence, not just in the physical sense, but in life. "All Fall Down" is an off kilter world where the sky may be falling, or is it a landslide with rushing water? As in life, sometimes it's hard to know which way is up!

"Waiting"
"Waiting" juried into WVWS Aqueous 2015
"Waiting" is on display in the WVWS Aqueous 2015 National Juried Exhibition at the Stifel Fine Arts Center in Wheeling, WV. The show opens July 2 and continues through August 21, 2015.
Sometimes it's hard to know when a piece is finished. I propped this one on the easel and studied it for a couple of months, trying to decide what, if anything, would bring it to its proper finish. I finally decided that I loved it the way it is - it just took some waiting...
"Off The Deep End"
"Off The Deep End" juried into Tamarack's Best of WV 2015
This is my second time in the Best of West Virginia Exhibition at Tamarack's David L. Dickirson Fine Art Gallery in Beckley. If you are ever passing through the Beckley area, be sure to stop for a visit. The fine art and craft on display there are something for all West Virginians to take pride in. It's a true gem in the mountain state. "Off The Deep End" will be on display until August 9, 2015.

Merry Christmas!
Christmas Inukshuk
A new acquaintance recently told me about the custom of native arctic people who build stone cairns called inuksuit (plural), usually in the shape of people, to let other travelers know that they were there. I have a newfound affinity for painting rocks and so this seemed "right up my alley." This is my Christmas Inukshuk, painted to let you know that I was here and I wish you a very Merry Christmas!
