August 7, Friday, 5-7PM Artist Opening Solo Show at Mill Contemporary, Canyon Road, Santa Fe, New Mexico. 

These works are my beginning conversation reflective of current times, with a yearning to keep some history and components of the ‘journey towards now’. Surfaces and textures tell unique stories and have unique and reflective histories, showing beautiful and interesting pathways, allowing subtle peeks into past work and reflections while allowing for current thoughts and passions, creating a full spectrum view of artistic explorations.

A recent Anniversary extended trip to Italy brings memories of travel and influences from historical and textural buildings and towns into my sights, creating a perfect harmony of title with lingering memories for each work.  The essence of Italy, its people, the country’s warm sunlight, ancient gardens and mountain vistas, amazing cuisine, its art history, visible poetry of life well-lived.  After each painting is dry and ready for framing, I sit with each work and study the essence of what is before me, exploring each journey of color and texture and gestural conversation, and title each piece from these reflective studies.
