By Leave a Comment

The St. Louis Artist Guild has a new juried show starting Nov. 20 and going through Jan. 02. Elements of Abstraction is an all-media juried exhibition curating works of art that use the elements of art; line, shape, form, space, texture, value, and or color as a main component of the final product.

I was accepted into the exhibit with a new painting (below) titled “Pixelated Memory”

New custom painting for couple I met at Webster Art&Air

By Leave a Comment

I have been super busy ever since I exhibited at Webster Art&Air. I met tons of people who want me to do custom paintings for them here in St. Louis. As a St. Louis artist, it is great to see this much passion and demand for local and modern art. I have been doing, sometimes multiple, art consultations every week, and producing a lot of renderings and working with my collectors to produce one-of-a-kind modern art that is perfect for there homes.

Today I want to share with you some renderings I did for a couple here in St. Louis. They wanted a painting to go over their fireplace in their living room.

They wanted a piece that was sized just right and that incorporated some of the colors in the room. I put together these renderings and presented the concepts to them.

And…if you or someone you know needs help getting a piece of art that is just right for their space, please contact me about doing some custom art!

By Leave a Comment

Due to popular demand, I have added multi panel paintings to my Etsy store. Now you can mix and match pieces to make any combination or arrangement you want. These were so popular last fall when I exhibited at the Shaw Art Fair, that I sold out of them.

I will be exhibiting my modern abstract art this June in Webster Groves, Missouri at the Art&Air art fair.

This year it was juried by John Nagel, Executive Director, International Photography Hall of Fame, Rachel Kranzberg-Miller, award-winning jewelry, with degrees in painting and fashion design, Anne Murphy, former Executive Director of the Saint Louis Artists’ Guild, gallery director, and artist and Yael Shomroni, Peer Juror, ceramist, potter, and active art fair exhibitor.

The 12th Annual Art&Air, the Webster Arts Fair, June 5-7, 2015, is set on the oak-shaded grounds of Webster University/Eden Theological Seminary in the heart of historic Webster Groves, Missouri (63119), just 10 minutes west of downtown St. Louis.

It is conveniently located near Downtown St.Louis and Clayton. Art&Air, continually noted as a favorite fair among artists, because of unmatched hospitality and amenities, showcases many varieties of art, while offering delectable food, top-notch musical performances, and unique creative activities for the whole family.

Each year, over 110 juried artists participate at Art&Air, which is often noted as one of the best art fairs in the Midwest. The artists come from across the U.S. and Canada, with a third of them coming from outside the St. Louis metropolitan area.

I am really looking forward to the show. I had a lot of fun last year at the Shaw Art Fair, and this one should be fun too.

Come by and say hello, these are a great opportunity for me to see my collectors in person.
