View the La Foresta Gallery HERE!

I'm posting this link here until I get this gallery active on my website. Been very busy hustling out there.

The things artists do

I was asked to create a new resume for a job I was recently offered for work on a movie. So as I dug through all the different art related projects I have done over the years I found this image. It's of a stainless steel table designed for a jewelry store. It sits on a glossy black bowling ball. I had it fabricated by the talented sculptor, Constantin Hapianu.

Gunnar Nordstrom Gallery in Bellevue

I am very pleased to announce that my work can be found at this fantastic gallery. Gunnar has created an upscale gallery that caters to first time art collectors and the savvy experienced collecter. You can relax in a very comfortable atmosphere and know you'll be treated with respect. Make sure you drop by and plan a night of it in the hippest shopping and dining area around.

I just came across this and I love it!

Hitler was quoted: "Anyone who sees and paints a sky green and fields blue," he famously said of modern artists, "ought to be sterilized."

Hanging New Art

I just got back from hanging my new series, La Foresta at Vino Bella in Issaquah. It is a wonderful venue for wine, live music and art. Claude Blumezweig, owner and front man for this welcoming bar in the Old Town area of Issaquah, has put together a winner. My paintings look great among this tastefully designed upscale entertainment spot.

Make sure you stop in during June and enjoy the sights and sounds with your favorite wine or beer.

I'll be painting live there during ArtWalk June 5th. Come watch me do my thing and listen to the amzing New Age Flamenco.

I guess it's movie time?

Here are links to two films I acted in a few years ago. They are both playing at the Seattle's True Independent Film Festival this June. One is Warriors End, a medieval drama and the other is Son of Terror, a horror film.


Over the past several years I have either produced, acted and even directed a film or two. Usually in the indie world, the process is slow as molasses. It takes forever to raise the money and to complete everything it takes to be ready for the shoot dates. Then suddenly everything moves at break-neck speed. Using limited resources with people who all put in amazingly long hours and pitch-in in areas beyond the agreed on (I love this part, it's a rush). Something happens along the way. You see an idea become a reality and you see the squeeze of limited resources and time push out many times a surprise of creativity. Then it goes to post, and if your an actor, like me, you often hear nothing for months and sometimes even years.

Time to Express Myself

For years now I have attempted to paint abstracts. But every time I think I'm getting close, I just haven't hit the mark by my standards. You see to me an abstract needs to have a little skin in it and it still needs to 'tell a story'. Today I am announcing to the world (or the five people who read my blog) that I have finally done it.

I have five pieces completed in this new series, and so far, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Here are a few images for a little tease. Ok their not fully abstracts they are more technically 'Expressionism' paintings.
