Stillness: A Still Life:
I’m especially pleased to share that my works ICE Picks — Innocence and Shake, Rattle & Roll will be on view. Both paintings have been completed this year and will be exhibitted for the first time. I’m sincerely thankful to juror Katherine Grossfeld for this opportunity.

Faces & Figures:
I’m also very happy to learn that Abe will be included in the Faces & Figures exhibition. Abe is one of 21 portraits to date in my Ink & Oil series. A series of portraits of people who are themselves canvases. I would like to thank Abe and everyone that has been gracious enough to pose for me — you’ve made this series possible. Thank you! And of course, a very special thanks to jurist Sandra Wakeen for the honor.
