More later on the long time between posts, but here's part of the reason for now...

I'm having my first exhibition of paintings in far too long. 


The show is at Firecreek Coffee Co. on Route 66 and San Francisco in beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona. It opens on Friday, September 6th, First Friday Artwalk, and will be on display through the end of the month. Here's a sample of the work being shown...

Visual Journal

     This semester I am student teaching at Flagstaff Arts and Leadership Academy in Flagstaff, AZ. My host teacher, Janeece Henes, has fostered in her students the practice of keeping a visual journal. The basis of this practice can be found on this website: http://www.journalfodderjunkies.com/

     I have enjoyed seeing what students do with this format and, as with any assignment this semester, I have adopted the practice myself. As a result I now carry a book-bag full of art supplies to support the habit. Whenever I have time to fill I pull out my journal and start a new page or add a layer to an existing one. Here are a few images from my visual journal. Many pages are in progress and may not be finished for a long time as this format allows for a slow development of imagery.
