Plaza Art Fair

This weekend I'll be at the beautiful Plaza Art Fair in Kansas City, MO. If you're in the area, stop by booth #110 and say Hi. There's going to be some great work there and the weather looks very promising as well.

September 23, 24 & 25
Friday: 5 - 10pm
Saturday: 10am - 10pm
Sunday: 11am - 5pm

Hope to see you then!

Dryad IV Completed

I meant to take a nice studio shot of this piece in progress with the picturesque disarray of work in all it's glory - extension cords strewn everywhere and the floor covered in grinding dust. The problem is, I just got too involved and before I knew it the sculpture was complete. So I'll just have to settle for posting these freshly fabricated images.

Margaret Wall-Romana

Drop everything you're doing and head straight to The Minneapolis Institute of Arts to see the new MAEP exhibition of Margaret Wall-Romana's paintings. Try to go at a quiet time when traffic in the galleries will be at a minimum - solitude is best to dive into these works properly. I arrived at the opening early enough to spend some time alone with them and was actually moved to tears. This is what Art is.

UIU Exhibition Opening

I just returned from installing a solo show at Upper Iowa University in Fayette. Well, perhaps not that little... I brought 15 works in all and they filled out the space beautifully. The hospitality and response was great, just a wonderful trip.

Bios

I actually completed this piece, Bios, a few weeks back. My memory is so shot that I can't remember if I began it in my old studio or not, but it's definitely the first sculpture finished in the new space. Turned out quite nice. Better yet, a beautiful new piece is already well underway...

Elmhurst Art Museum

Last week I dropped off Nighthawk at the Elmhurst Art Museum for the Chicago Sculpture International exhibition. Named the “Best Suburban Art Museum in Chicago” by Chicago Magazine, it is a beautiful little museum located in one of the only three houses in the US designed by Mies van der Rohe.

The show will run until March 19, 2011 with a reception being held on Friday, January 14, 2011. Below is a quick snapshot I took after delivering my sculpture.
