werkken hard

I'm working on some new projects this summer. My show at Bloomingdales (Mall of America) will have some new work with a fashion focus. The working title for the show is "show off". I'm thinking catwalk and marquees. Later in the summer I'll be showing some new work at Spill the Wine on Washington. I'm working on some narrative wall installations that will occupy the great walls at Spill ... more info to come.

May Day

Happy May Day. I'm heading down to the May Day festivities at Powderhorn Park this Sunday. Really the best parade around. My daughter is now 6 months old so I'm sure it will be very influential in her development. Get you kids out and take it in.

I do rent out art, it's a great way to try paintings out for a couple months.

Commissions
I work on a limited number of commissions at a time. Contact me if you have an idea for a unique painting.

I consider myself to be an abstract painter, or maybe more of an expressionist, although I like to think I have my own vibe going on. My current art work is focusing more and more on our relationships with those around us, those we are close to and those we keep our distance from. It's my hope to capture the emotion of these relationships with very simple characters, colors and the juxtaposition of it all.

Artist Associations. 

I was a member of Rosalux
         Gallery in Minneapolis from 2006 to 2008. My art work has been seen in collections from the Harvard Arts Department to private
         Hollywood homes, and countless Minneapolis locations. 

My studio is in the Northrup King Building in the Minneapolis Arts
         District, I also work out of my home studio in South Minneapolis. 

The paintings.
Currently, a lot of my art is what I consider to be large, at least 4 feet by 4 feet. Once I started painting in this size I felt I really was able to communicate fully my characters and the relationships they find themselves in.

A little history of the art.
My paintings have evolved a lot over time. I really enjoyed painting still life's, working with the traditional compositions, colors and subjects. Well, in high school my art teacher, Merl Clercx once said, "what else can you do?". I've taken the spirit of that statement forward in my work today. I am more interested in capturing the emotion of life through color and energy in my painting than anything else. Simplicity and humor are two tools that help me reach this goal.
