August has arrived and the summer art shows are winding down. August is that weird month where the weather still screams summer, but all of us creative types are scrambling in preparation for the chaos of the upcoming fall. Fall in Florida means a brief reprieve from the heat and multiple epic art events each […]
Read more "Summer’s End"Kindred Spirits (the artwork of Paula Davis and Adrienne H. Lee) will make its debut at this years’ Big Bang Bazaar! I have attended this event many times in the past and watched it grow from a small indie craft fair into what it is now – a day-long celebration of all things handmade… and […]
Read more "Big Bang Bazaar"If you are in the Central Florida area, I hope you will join me Wednesday, August 2nd for the opening of the “Where in the World?” Art Show at Dandelion Communitea Cafe. Dandelion is a beacon of light to our Orlando community. They host multiple art shows every year and they make and serve the […]
Read more "“Where in the World?”"As I may have mentioned in a previous post, I LOVE The Muppets. A few years ago, a local art show was organized to celebrate all things puppets and puppetry. It was an incredible show that filled an entire warehouse in an industrial part of town. This show featured some of the best and most […]
Read more "Pepe the King Prawn"“Frances McFeather” is the Seussian character I created for the Seuss Whimsy Art Show currently on view at Osceola Arts in Kissimmee, FL. Dr. Seuss often created characters that had elaborate and extravagant hair, wings or tails and Frances pays tribute to all those fancy friends. I even wrote a little poem about her… Have […]

This year I have been making a concerted effort to only paint things that make me happy and Snoopy does just that. The world’s best known beagle […]
Read more "Snoopy"For the February issue of Artborne Magazine, I was tasked with writing about sculptor Maxwell Hartley. Specializing in the appropriation of discarded industrial materials for his epic commentaries on a society fascinated with all things disposable, he is a truly genuine human with a big heart. I was honored and humbled to see the article […]
Read more "Maxwell Hartley: The Visitor"This painting is a combination of two things I love with a passion – The Muppets and Wes Anderson films. A few years ago, Stardust Video and Coffee in Winter Park, FL hosted a Wes Anderson-themed art show. When the idea hit me for a pop culture mash-up (another thing I love with a passion), […]
Read more "“The Life Aquatic”"I am slowly working my way through all the Miyazaki films and I’m loving every minute of it! Each film hits me right in the feels in sometimes surprising ways. Themes like the importance of loyalty in friendship, the love of family and a devotion to the Earth illustrate a deep sense of humanity set […]
Read more "“Friends in the Forest”"The “Seuss Whimsy Art Show” hosts its artist reception and meet-and-greet this Saturday, July 22nd from 1:00-4:00pm at Osceola Arts in Kissimmee, FL. My painting, “Frances McFeather,” is included in this show and I am very excited! The Director of Visual Arts, Marilyn Cortes-Lovato, was kind enough to give a few of the artists (myself […]
