One Night in Laguna

July 17, 2013

Thanks to artist Fabrice Spies, Rachel and I were invited to attend the VIP Opening of the Festival of Arts in Laguna. This is Fabrice's 2nd year showing in this prestigious juried exhibition and his work did not disappoint. The gala reception had an "Old Hollywood" theme and we did our best to look the part. Great crowd, great time, great art. Way to go Fab!

All dolled up WITH someplace to go!

Riding the trolley to the Festival

Fabrice with his parents, who came all the way from France.

Fabrice's mother-in-law figured out how to print one of his paintings on a cookie as gifts for his guests. Yum!

We LOVE red dots! Congratulations, Bibi!

Fab's painting "Surf Shop" is also featured on merchandise for sale as part of this year's Festival. Awesome PR, and comfortable, too!

Fabrice's display. Definitely check it out if you're looking for a fun SoCal excursion.

Sold Out @ Sullivan Goss Gallery!

April 18, 2012

While I was sculpting away in Philadelphia (November 2011 - March 2012), I found out that four of my paintings on display at Sullivan Goss Gallery in Santa Barbara, CA all sold! It was my second year showing in the gallery's "100 Grand" Show and my first clean sweep. Some pictures of the show and the work follow:

Love the Salon Style display of the work!
Curator Susan Bush does a remarkable job making sense
of the different styles, shapes, and colors.

That's my painting, "Tierra Contenta - Noon"

Apparently the patrons in Santa Barbara dig the landscape

AND the urbanscape as all four found new homes!

Big thanks to Susan Bush and the Sullivan Goss team
for believing in me and putting together terrific shows!
