Avalon Shimmer 18" x 24" - Oil on Mounted Linen - $8,200
Avalon Shimmer
Catalina Island has become something of a 'home away from home' for me. I connect to the place in a visceral way. Leaving Saint Paul in the very heart of winter and arriving at this freshly-washed, green island is a tonic to my soul. The rough electric shock of the drastic change of scenery allows a contrast which makes me appreciate both worlds more intensely and individually.

American Artist - Weekend with the Masters
September 7-11 2011 - Monterey California
I'm honored to be asked to participate in this prestigious event, both to lecture and teach plein aire. Other artists including Richard Schmid, Sherri McGraw, David Leffel, Kevin MacPherson will also be teaching and presenting. To have so much talent in the same place at the same time is a great opportunity for participants and me as well. I look forward to the camaraderie and learning.
