Edgar Varela Fine Arts/ Junglerush Gallery Solo Show
Hi kids,
Now that the recent heat wave has abated (hallelujah!) and the fog has come mercifully in, I'm feeling like I might be able to once again think straight and maybe even form coherent sentences (!). So I thought I'd take a moment out from painting to catch you up on the latest...
EDGAR VARELA FINE ARTS
The big news is that I am now officially working with independent Los Angeles-based art dealer, curator, and gallery owner Edgar Varela, under the auspices of Edgar Varela Fine Arts (EVFA). Varela is a vital presence in the burgeoning downtown LA art scene, "dedicated to the goal of finding emerging and mid-career artists and bringing them to the forefront of the art world." I am thrilled and honored to be among a select group of artists working with EVFA, and am looking forward to working with Edgar and his people to grow the visibility of my work in the Los Angeles art market. (Check out EVFA at www.edgarvarelafinearts.com).
EVFA SOLO SHOW- JULY, LOS ANGELES
My first show through EVFA is fast approaching, and I am currently up-to-my-eyeballs in paint preparing for it (almost literally: I just looked in the mirror and found a smear of green paint across my face!). Workplace hazards notwithstanding, I will have a bunch of new paintings ready for the show, my first solo show in LA (yay!). And, I'm very happy to report, I'm really in love with this new work--I feel my work has really made a leap this last year--and I can’t wait to share it! So, if you’re in the area, I hope you'll come out for it, and spread the word to your friends.
I also have a couple of group shows coming up, including one at the over-the-top groovy/gorgeous Hotel Triton in downtown San Francisco. Details on both shows are below.
