Title: PDA_Public Deer Affection : Newest piece for sale
Show open February 19th, 2010 in  Salt Lake City, Utah

A smogless city dream is a piece about the air quality. This holiday vacation i traveled back east PA/NY area for my holiday vacation. As i drove from NY to PA i noticed all of the industrial buildings and interesting things that i see as being part of my growing up. It was very different as i started to noticed all the electrical plants in California in the beach areas. This beautiful majestic scenery with such destruction mixed in. So, with this piece I imagined i was in a place that these epic creatures were completely a mystery, unseen, until one day there was a clearing in the clouds and as i looked up i saw these magnificient creatures effortlessly cleaning up the air that we humans fill with our selfish behaviors. The piece was sold at the opening of Urban Confluence Saturday night & i wanted to say Thanks so much CAVE GALLERY for such a great opening and great crowd.

I’m in a new exhibit by request from Black Maria Gallery.  Im excited about the fact that this show will be a new crowd for my work to be viewed by. Here’s to hoping you like my work Santa Clarita, CA ! Check out the press release below!

WHEN: Starts November 23 – December 11, 2009
Artists’ Reception: Saturday, December 5th, 1:00 – 4:00pm
WHERE: College of the Canyons Art Gallery
Valencia Campus, Mentry Hall 108
26455 Rockwell Canyon Road, Santa Clarita, CA 91355

The College of the Canyons Art Gallery is proud to present Beyond the Image, a collaboration with Black Maria Gallery featuring the work of approximately 15 artist/illustrators. Curated by COC Art Faculty and professional illustrator, Mercedes McDonald, this exhibition features a diverse sampling of some of the best young artists working today.

“This is work that engages you, causes you to stop and investigate. You will no doubt see work that you like as well as work that disturbs you, styles you relate to and others that you don’t, but all the work will be provocative” says Larry Hurst, gallery director.

“Some of the freshest work emerging from the Southern California art world, the styles and mediums of the work on display vary widely, creating a wonderful visual excitement. Many of the artists publish their work commercially and manufacture toys based on their art. This is a genre of art that is both thought-provoking and approachable” says Mercedes McDonald.
