As part of my Constellations for the New Millennium series, I’ve generated 12 new zodiac signs and their corresponding horoscopes.
It’s my hope to post them in the coming weeks as things settle down once again – so please check back.

new work coming soon…
March 27, 2012 – 1:05 pm
In the past few weeks, I’ve had the chance to be part of some amazing arts projects as they are developing — and though it’s added a bunch of early mornings and late nights, it has been a pleasure to collaborate with so many talented people as we help to make these dynamic works happen (see previous post…)
So thank you to everyone that I have had a chance to meet and work with in the last month. Your passion is refreshing and contagious; and I appreciate it!
And everyone in the community, here’s your heads-up — there is some fantastic work coming your way very soon!
In the meantime, I’ll be finding time to post the zodiac signs from my ongoing series of constellation drawings — so please check back for some new images in the next week…
I know, I know… Even my dog is getting impatient with the pace I’ve been posting my own work recently…

3 Outstanding Art Opportunities
March 2, 2012 – 5:11 pm
I’ve been busy beyond measure of late, hence the lack of posts… but all the effort has not been in vain!
Here are 3 outstanding opportunities for the artists and writers who are keeping in touch with me via the interwebs… I am honored to be part of the team working towards each of these phenomenal arts programs. I hope you’ll get involved, too!
1) Hands on Pianos is a public art project scheduled for July 2012, where the Hopkins Center at Dartmouth College (and other partners, including AVA Gallery and Art Center) will be installing artist decorated pianos throughout the Upper Valley to bring free art and music to the community. The deadline to apply to decorate a piano is March 9. Download the application by clicking here. It is free to apply.
2) The Whitefish Review is gearing up our production of Issue #11 – The Wild Issue! WFR features art, photo, and writing from both established and emerging artists and authors. The deadline to apply to be included in Issue #11 is March 15. Click here to be redirected to the online submissions portal. It is free to apply.
3) Helen Day Art Center in Stowe, VT is putting together Exposed 2012, their 21st Annual Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition. This exhibition is, in the simplest of terms — amazing — featuring works by video artists, filmmakers, performers, writers, sculptors, including site-specific installations and interventions, and participatory and exchange based works!!! The deadline to apply to be included in Exposed 2012 is March 19. Download the application by clicking here. It is free to apply.
Alright, everyone. I’m out — as you can imagine, there’s tons to do! I hope you’ll apply to be part of one or all of these upcoming art events!

NH Residents: Write Your Representatives to Oppose HB 1274 and HB 1285
January 18, 2012 – 10:03 pm
There are two significant and frightening bills coming before the NH House of Representatives in the near future. Both threaten to eliminate arts funding in the state:
HB 1274 would abolish the Department of Cultural Resources
HB 1285 would eliminate the Percent for Art Program
If you are an artist in NH, please contact your Representative to let them know you oppose these bills.
They go before committee on Friday, 1/20.
For complete details, including talking points and who you should be reaching out to and their contact information, please visit the New Hampshire Citizens for the Arts website.

Constellations for the New Millennium
January 2, 2012 – 2:31 pm
I’m happy to share some newly posted work:
Constellations for the New Millennium posits that the celestial narrative we learned as children may no longer be relevant to contemporary life and proposes a new symbol set for the heavens.
All drawings 5″ x 7″. Acrylic paint and white pencil on Canson paper.
When installed, the 70+ drawings create a night-sky gradient from blue to black, 4′ x 10′.
2012
Please click here to see 6 of the 70+ drawings!

“Splash of Gewertz, Dog Breath?”
December 20, 2011 – 1:47 pm
With mentoring from the fabulous Paulette Werger, I fabricated a set of eight pewter wine charms last weekend—each with its own quirky insult. They’re pretty silly. And fun. Can’t wait for the holidays!

This painting was commissioned by RSD Trucking Company. As you can guess, it was incredibly fun to make. It’s about 8′ x 3.5′, oil on canvas.
