I just started working on a painting for my mom. Photos to come at a later date. I want her to see the painting in person before I unload any images onto my blog.

Speaking of moms! Here is a photo to compensate for not having an image of my painting.

Nancy Botwin (best mother) from the acclaimed show, Weeds. Played by Mary Louise Parker and also my Halloween costume this year!

In the September 2010 issue of ARTNews, William Ruprecht said, "It's faster on the way up and fast on the way down."

Yassy Goldie_ Artist Talk

This past artist talk at Montserrat was clearly outstanding. For the many who attended I think you would agree!!

Mr. Yassy Goldie, the one and only representative for Golden Jasmine Yeti Dancers (GJYD), works as the figurehead of the group. This way the individual identities of GJYD can remain anonymous. As a collective they created I want to soX yuO!, a site-specific installation currently held in Frame 301.

(The exhibit will be on view until November 5th.)

The installation consists of commercial campaigns for yuO soX within golden television sets, stacked on top of each other. Through truth and satire GJYD is able extend their online presence into the interior and exterior of the gallery.

Through guerilla performances GJYD works toward making people aware of social injustices, while at the same time promoting change.

Can yuO live in a world without the desire for power, position, and/or authority? One does when one does not identify oneself with something greater -Yassy Goldie

Tonight was the artist reception at Ithaki in Ipswich Mass.

Mingling, eating, drinking and art!

All work will be on view for the next following months. If you are in the area or wish to spend a nice Fall afternoon in Ipswich, stop by Ithaki and check out some awesome work!

Happy Birthday Luke!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is now on Youtube!

In 2009 I carried out a performance piece and had my sister Emily film it. Over the next following months I edited the work not really understanding what this piece meant to me.

This piece is another extension of my thesis work from this past year. Trying to find a personal connection between nature and my mother.

These Days

Temporary, yet enjoyable place to make art!

In a Dream I was a Werewolf

Grimm: fairy, folk, and other tales Show.

Currated by Miss Liz Sultzer!

A Bear Gallery exhibition using the theme of classic and esoteric fairytales and folktales as its inspiration for artwork. The gallery is looking for work that abstracts, interprets, or relates to this inspiration.

"In a dream I was a Werewolf", was created in response to Little Red Ridding Hood and the song WEREFOLF, by CocoRosie (my favorite group!!). Enjoy the video!

Chemo Limo Two Thousand & Eight

I remember listening to Chemo Limo back in October of 2008.

Ink, White-out, Paper Collage on Paper

These recent collages have been brought on by wanting to allow my hands to work as quickly as I process thoughts and ideas.

I enjoy moving at a fast pace.

I've been taking old collages from last year, cutting them up and then rearranging them into new compositions.

Small Studies

Rainy days always make good for staying inside and making art.

New York Adventures

This past weekend my days were spent traveling to New York, looking at artwork (Chelsea galleries & the MoMA), walking around the city, and visiting my sister!

My all time favorite was walking through the High Line in Chelsea.

Here is a photo taken by Jonathan Flaum.

(I am currently waiting to devleop the photos I took).

Please visit the High Line webpage to view more photos by Jonathan Flaum and other artists!

Here is a list of various artists that I was able to see. Sadly I did not get to go to as many exhibitions in Chelsea as I would have liked to. But I did enjoy my time at the MoMA.

Worth looking into!
