In October, I was swooped away by Adabel Allen’s world of lovely and lovelorn birds. Her show at New Grounds Gallery showcased her talent as a vastly skilled gravure printer as well as a poet—both in the visual and written sense. The mixture of whimsy and naked sentimentality in her work is honest, beautiful and heartwarmingly cathartic. Certainly an artist on the rise. (SA)" (Sam Adams)Friday, December 30, 2011
Thanks, Alibi...for choosing my show as one of the best in Albuquerque in 2011!

I love how art can tell so much....
So today after a morning cup o' joe, I pick up one of our finer weekly rags to discover an eloquent exploration of my current solo exhibit...I'm flattered beyond words by the observations and meanings that Sam Adams derived from looking at my gravure prints and reading my poetry...
Thank you Sam and Weekly Alibi for the Arts Review!

What a year it's been...
I've been busy in the studio getting ready for my upcoming solo exhibit:
"Emergence" - Multiple Plate Photopolymer Gravures
It opens
Friday, Oct. 7th, from 5 - 8pm.
I'll also be doing a printmaking demonstration and talking about how I created works for this show from 6:30 - 7:00 pm. You can see more info here.
and the prints are already for sale on New Grounds website, by clicking here. I'll also be releasing my self-published poetry/coloring book at my opening reception.
I hope I can see you all there.
In addition to my solo show, I also was juried into a couple of group shows. A photograph of mine was accepted into PhotoNM, a show juried by Mary Anne Redding (the curator of photography for the New Mexico History Museum.) It was really an honor. Usually I use my photography as just a means of reference for my printmaking....but this year I decided if photographers thought that my photography was of merit in and of itself. I was so excited to be amongst some of New Mexico's foremost photographers. You can read about it/see pictures on Matrix Fine Art's blog, here.
Also, I had a gravure print accepted into the juried Aztec Motel Memorial Show.
And, lastly, I've had the honor of teaching basic printmaking workshops in a variety of techniques for OFFCenter Community Arts Project. We'll have an exhibit of works from participants (age 5 - 85) at OFFCenter in November. Call 247-1172 for more info.
Thanks to everyone who gave me support to get to this place right now.
