Ordinary Things Exhibit At Studio 659
In this exhibit, the art reminds us that what is ordinary in one life might not be ordinary in another. Some artists have re-imagined “ordinary” in extraordinary ways. Many Midwest regional artists will be in attendance at our reception, which is this Friday evening, June 7, from 7 to 9 PM. The exhibit is curated by Dawn Diamantopoulos, a graduate of Pratt Institute.

My Previous exhibits at Studio 659
Mexican RoadTrip, in Road Trip Exhibit
I have often combined my love of travel with painting, but few places are as beautiful and hospitable as Barra de Navidad, a coastal village on the western shore of Mexico where the small local population mingles with tourists and artists. While visiting Barra the vibrant tropical colors inspired my non-objective painting, Mexican RoadtTrip.

In this stylized painting the cowgirl and her guitar are painted in a representational manner, while the background is geometric and abstract. This painting is part of my abstract realism series.
