This one's called "Sue, Displaced Farmer's Daughter", well, until the opening it did. A five year old girl came up to me at the opening, insisting she must be an Elizabeth and not a Sue.  She also wants to recreate the show and do a better job of it in crayon - YAY!!

IN AUGUST I HAD A SOLO SHOW AT Boltax Gallery, a fine venue on Shelter Island: www.boltaxgallery.com. The show's title was 'Inappropriately Dressed'.

 

Postpartum Bridge Art Fair

Well ... I think nobody did too well at any of the art fairs, but I also brought giant canvases not desperate to sell, but to sort of get my color scheme out there and burnt onto the retina of the collective conscience ... still ahve to see if that worked - next up is the gwob launching later on in March 2009.

I'll be at the Depression Art Fair March 5-8, 2009

Join me at Bridge Art Fair at The Waterfront: 222 12th Ave, NYC ... on the edge of the Chelsea moloch  ... my booth is #36 and I'll be trying to cram my giant canvases into a teeny tiny booth.

More Freedom Riders! Opening June 28 in Nashville TN

DateMonday, March 28, 2011 at 2:16PM

I'm working hard in the studio on more large format Freedom Riders, trying to find new exciting ways to combine the collage with the painted imagery ... have to get somewhere soon with it though, cause hte show is coming up and coming up fast: June 28 in Nashville TN, the home of the Freedom Riders!

 

To the right here is an 18 year old Charles Cox (who apparently also went by Carl Fox), a Jackson teen who was part of SNCC and was sent to Parchman prison for trying to desegregate a lunch counter in Jackson. Did he know he was making history at 18? He feels so determined, calm and strong in his eyes as he looks at his jailor taking his picture. 


I'll be adding a picture gallery of the new work shortly.
