Annex 24 Gallery - II

 

 

On Friday May 3, I will once again

be showing my work at

Annex 24 gallery in

Lancaster, PA

 

May 3 is the opening night of the

Spring Art Walk. In addition to the

galleries staying open late, there

will be music throughout the city's

art district. 

I will be showing some of my

newest pieces and also some

pieces that I have not shown for

quite a while.

 

I always enjoy showing at

Annex 24. They feature a

diverse assortment of art from

all media and genres.

 

First Friday always generate an

energy and excitement that make

it an evening not to be missed.

 

 

 

Earth Day 2013

 

 

 

 

 

Once again An Octopus's Garden has invited

me to be the featured artist for Earth Day Weekend.

I really enjoy being a part of the Earth Day

celebrations. It gives me an opportunity to show

what can be done with used and recycled materials.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are many people doing many amazing

things with recycled material, from art to building

construction, and everything in between. One doesn't

need to be overly creative or have to "think outside

the box" to be a part. Just using one less paper cup

or napkin a day is an easy way to help protect our

dwindling and fragile resources.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This year's festivities kick off with the Third Friday

events on Friday, April 19, 2013, 6-9:30 pm.

Third Friday is always fun. The art district stays open

late and there is music all over town with great shopping,

food and drink.

 

 

 

 

I have been busy making new sculpture for the weekend.

I will also have with me more of my WORDS . They always

seem to be a favorite.

 

 

I have created a new series of sculpture, STICKS. These

are small sculptures designed to be both fun and

affordable. I have made one larger version of a STICK

sculpture that will be given to a lucky attendee. So stop by

and put your name in the hat.

 

 

 

 



This sculpture will be given away to the winner of the drawing.

Update

It's been quite a while since my last
post, so I thought it was time to catch up
on a few things.


I was in a show at Annex 24 Gallery in Lancaster,
PA for the months of November, December, and
January. The show was a success, with throngs
of people out enjoying the holiday events.


I had a great time up there. We got to see the
sights around Lancaster County, which is always one
of our favorite places to visit.

Crusade

This Saturday, March 23, I will be in a show opening
 at Tria Art Gallery in Woodbury, NJ. Tria is a new
gallery that just recently opened. It's nice to see
the arts coming to some local towns in the
Gloucester County area.



I will once again be the Featured Artist for Earth
Day Weekend at An Octopus's Garden in
Millville, NJ.  More on that later.


So I have been keeping busy. I just haven't been
keeping current with my posts on here.

Protracted Degradation

My latest piece 'Protracted Degradation', is
created from pieces that I have been collecting
for quite some time. These pieces have mostly
come from the shoulders of roadways.  Some
from back roads and some from interstates (at
the risk of life and limb). All of the components
were well on their way back to the earth from
which they came. However, now they have been
given a new life.

It's rewarding to find old discarded objects and
assemble them into works of art.

Upcoming Annex 24 Gallery Show

I am pleased to be a part of the November show
at Annex 24 Gallery in Lancaster,  PA.

Annex 24 is one of many art galleries in
Lancaster's thriving arts district. The art gallery
combines photography, sculptures and paintings,
classes and seminars, live music and VIP events
into a exploration of artistic expression.

I will be debuting several new pieces created
for this show.

The gallery is located at:
24 West Walnut Street,
Lancaster, PA 17603

There will be an opening reception as part of
Lancaster's 'First Friday':
Friday, Nov.2, 2012
5:00- 9:00 pm

The show runs through November.







My Studio

 

 

 

 

 

 

My studio
 

I am often asked where I create my sculpture. Well, I don't have a fancy studio, a garage, or even a shed in which to work.

Inventory

Paint Shop

The ceiling.

I am sort of like the village smithy of

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Instead

One of my consultants.

of working under the spreading chestnut

tree, I work under the spreading maple

tree.

The conditions are less than ideal. In the

 summer it is blazing hot, in the winter

it is freezing cold, and all year long I

have to dodge raindrops. These conditions

are conducive to efficient work. I tend

to work in spurts and quite fast.

Actually, it it nice to work in the backyard.

I am able to take frequent breaks and get

advivce and opinions when needed.

So here are some pictures of my 'studio'.

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 



Summer Shows

Lady With Earring
Sold  at Perkins members show
in June

It has been a while since my last post, but that doesn't mean
that I haven't been busy. In between closing out my iron
business and finding a new job I still managed to squeeze
in a few shows.








I entered a piece in the Perkins Center for the Arts annual
members show. I was happy to win an award for the piece,
Lady With Earring, and also happy to have it find a new
home.

In July I was the featured artist artist of the
Media Arts Council. I exhibited my work
at Jigsaw Home Solutions for the month.

Here are a few photos from that show.






I have also been working on some pieces
for an upcoming show in October in
Lancaster, PA. More info on that to come
later
