Opposites Attract

Today I share the final two paintings I created for the 15 Squared Art Show currently on view at The Barefoot Spa in Orlando, FL.  Sticking with my pop culture theme, I decided to paint Calcifer from “Howl’s Moving Castle” by Hayao Miyazaki and Baby Groot from “Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2” by James […]

Feline Friends

My painting of Dante from the Disney Pixar film “Coco” is currently residing at The Barefoot Spa as part of the 15 Squared Art Show.  While he is an older piece, I decided to paint a couple of new feline friends to keep him company.  In keeping with my pop culture theme, I painted Jiji […]

Anatomy & Sugar Skulls

One might think the anatomy category of the 15 Squared Art Show would be the most challenging for an artist who doesn’t enjoy painting people or portraits and who generally doesn’t care for the figure in art.  But this is me we are talking about and while I don’t like painting people so much, I […]

The 1970’s

For the 1970’s category of the 15 Squared Art Show, I considered a few ideas, but settled on my first introduction to pop culture (and The Muppets)… Sesame Street! Sesame Street is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, so honoring this show felt right.  However, I didn’t want to paint the more obvious characters.  I […]

Magritte-Inspired Landscapes

I am so grateful to be included in the 15 Squared Art Show currently on view at The Barefoot Spa.  The premise is to feature 15 local artists with 15 artworks each, but there’s a catch!  Each artist must create artwork in four categories – anatomy, landscapes, the 1970’s and artist choice (no abstracts) – […]

Orlando Fringe Festival

May is here and that means you will find me at the Orlando Fringe Festival.  In addition to two weeks of theatrical productions, the Fringe also hosts an epic art show called Visual Fringe.  Visual Fringe transforms the Orlando Shakespeare Theater into an art gallery that showcases a ton of local talent. If you attend […]

15 Squared

I feel honored and very humbled to have my work included in the upcoming 15 Squared Art Show.  I am one of 15 Central Florida artists invited to create 15 small artworks for display at The Barefoot Spa.  With works no larger than 12” x 12”, each artist was challenged to create art inspired by […]

Sugar Skulls & Luchador Masks

I am pleased to share that I have three pieces currently on view at Hourglass Brewing in Longwood, FL as part of their Sugar Skull & Luchador Mask Mash Up Art Show!  Artists were challenged to create artwork “mashing up” sugar skulls and luchador masks with pop culture references.  The results were truly magnificent and […]

The Art of Dr. Seuss

I feel a certain connection to Dr. Seuss as we share the same birth date and because I grew up reading his books.  Longtime followers may recall that I painted a piece for a Dr. Seuss-inspired art show a couple of years ago (Francis McFeather) and shared that piece on the blog. While we were in […]
