Spring Awakening- The Rock Musical

Spring Awakening opens this Friday at the Academy of Music Theater in Northampton, MA. Put on by Greene Room Productions I had the pleasure of creating some artwork for the set. If you have not heard of this play, it is a bit different. Talking about issues of teen sex, pregnancy and coming into ones own are the main issues. Actors hold cordless mikes, a live band plays on stage and some audience members sit on stage in bleacher seats. Hanging from the rafters and above the bleachers on either side of the stage will be reproductions of 1890's artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Vuillard and Toulouse Lautrec as well as prints of my own art and original abstract paintings. We did a cool stacking of paintings, empty frames and stretched fabric. All paintings will be for sale! Come support a great local Monson business and the arts in your community. Make it a date night! Shows are May 4, 5, 11 and 12, 2012. For ticket information call the Academy of Music at 413.584.9032 x105

Showing Work at The Gatehouse


For anyone that is in the New Hampshire area I have some small work in a gallery in Tamworth, NH called "The Gatehouse Gallery." The gallery is a tiny A frame filled with paintings, photography and Turkish carpets.
Malynda and Brian, the owners, travel the world for six months out of the year, come back home, work like crazy and do it again. I had the pleasure of visiting them over the winter. Their beautiful display of Turkish carpets were a trade for a website! They are truly an inspiring artist couple and I am honored to be shown in their gallery.
I will have a solo show there in July so stay tuned. For now they have some Mini Masterpieces, greeting cards and one small framed work.
If you are in the area, visit them at:

The Gatehouse Gallery

Turning Art- Like Netflix But With Art

Say hello to the newest artist member of Turning Art! It is an awesome program that rotates art through your home for people who want to beautify their space without the commitment of buying. It's like Netflix, but with art. You sign up, pick some pieces you like, they send you a 12"x16" print in a frame, and when you want a new one they send you a new print and you pop it in the frame and send back the previous. If there is a piece you LOVE and have to have, you can buy a print for $100 with proceeds going towards the artist. You also get credit towards buying an original piece, in which case they take that print out of circulation.
So sign up! If not having the money is what is keeping you from collecting art, this is an inexpensive, easy way to try out what it would be like to have inspiring work in your home. Get rid of those posters from college. Impress your house guests.
If you like my stuff, put it on constant rotation!
