“Golden”
This past year I have begun learning about the world of NFT’s. I’m also learning to do digital work and here are 2 pieces created in Procreate and now minted on Foundation.app.
“Golden”
This past year I have begun learning about the world of NFT’s. I’m also learning to do digital work and here are 2 pieces created in Procreate and now minted on Foundation.app.
Very excited and almost ready to ship my work for my exhibition with Terran Last Gun that opens September 18, 2021 at Gallery Hozho in Albuquerque, NM!!! Hope you can come by and enjoy the artwork!!
This is the Art Card that Gallery Hozho printed for Fire and Water - A Love Story. 30x30 colored pencil on paper, mounted on panel. This piece was selected for an artmoney.com ad representing Gallery Hozho as one of 10 Best Galleries in the Southwest to buy art. I was truly honored! Thank you Gallery Hozho and Art Money!
It’s now 2021 and I’ve been creating 3 pieces for Gallery Hozho’s “Nine Loves” Exhibition, a celebration of the season of Love that opens Saturday, February 6, 2021 from 12pm to 6pm.
These 3 pieces took me on a journey of discoveries, both inner and outer. I’ve added images of my process on “Grey Hearts”, “Language of Love” and “XOXO”. Click on the first image to see the next one.
When I decided to do “Grey Hearts” I looked online just to see if there was anything about grey hearts that resonated with me. I found this short story called “Grey Heart” written by author Dan Keeble who lives in the UK. This short story touched my heart and I found an instant connection between my artwork and this poignant tale of love. I wrote to Dan Keeble and asked if I could share his story along with my artwork and he was gracious and delighted. A lovely man who at 76 still believes in the power of love.. Here is a link if you’re interested in reading Dan Keeble’s story “Grey Heart”. https://everydayfiction.com/grey-heart-by-dan-keeble/
“Grey Hearts” is colored pencil on artists panel, finished with resin. 8x8 inches.
“Language of Love” represents the word or words of love in various languages and cultures. Although not every language has a word for love, humans all over the planet experience deep human connection in their own unique way. Never has there been a time in modern history when love and deep human connection has been needed more.
“Language of Love” is colored pencil on specialty drawing paper on artists panel, finished with resin. 8x8 inches.
XOXO in modern times means “kisses and hugs”. The history of this easily recognized symbol has been around for eons and has some varied origin stories. I found an article on the online edition of Moment Magazine that is in depth and quite interesting. Curious…take a look…https://momentmag.com/secret-history-x-o/

Rest assured that Gallery Hozho will continue to serve everyone by phone and online. They are on it! www.galleryhozho.com for contact information.
I am also extremely honored to be on the card for this exhibition! I hope you all are able to attend this wonderful event. Thank you for supporting the arts and artists!
