Gearing up for ArtPrize

I've entered ArtPrize, one of the world's largest open art competitions located in Grand Rapids Michigan. The venue where my art installation will show is at the "Grand Central Market & Deli" located on Monroe only a couple blocks from the Monroe Square. The installation will be four panels, each panel is 50 inches high by roughly 24 inches wide. The entirety is a scene of lilies on a water surface in autumn. If you are interested in seeing past pieces that are similar, visit my older blog post Lilly Collection. I may finish it by the end of next week, and hope to load some previews on this site soon. Meanwhile, I am in Binghamton New York till Wednesday, hanging a show at River Read Books, of my printmaking.

Currently...

This year has been busy and the beginning of summer has been really busy for me as an artist... so I can't complain, it is a good busy.

Currently I am working on my art installation for the upcoming Art Prize in Grand Rapids, Michigan that will take place from September 22 to October 10th where I will be showing in the Grand Central Market & Deli on Monroe Street. Here are some pictures of last year's artists at Art Prize:

I am also finishing up some new etchings for upcoming shows in Upstate New York for September. Currently I am framing some prints for a show for "Seven West Michigan Printmakers" to open on July 8th at the Frauenthal Center for Performing Arts. Right now I have a showing in Montague's "Book Nook" bookstore/cafe, as well as Muskegon's Mia & Grace a hip and happening restaurant:

I am also working on a couple signs for organizations in the local community, as well as some side projects and updating my online shop at Etsy.
