March Print of the Month
The new print of the Month is done! A little under the wire, and it was only just fry enough to scan today, but it's done nonetheless.

A true "Space Shot"
The article is out! I was a featured artist in the Fall River Herald News series called "Space Shots" which interviews artists in their studios. There is just one real correction...I received my masters degree from Boston University and not Brown.
Read the article online.
Cherry & Webb Gallery Exhibit
We are getting closer to finalizing dates for this show. Tentatively it is set to open the last week in April, with an opening reception Thursday April 29, and ends mid-July. Cards will be printed, posted, and mailed soon.

In the News, Really...
Be sure to check out the Fall River Herald News (either the paper or online) March 26 to read the "Space Shots" column! Deb Allard just visited the studio and Interviewed me for next week's installment! You'll all get to see my wee studio! (I will be sure to post a link when it is published.)
New Galleries:
Design ... The new Design Gallery features some of the design work that I have done over the years. Mostly for the Cherry&Webb Gallery in Fall River, MA, but there are some other things there too.
The Studio ... This gallery shows a little bit of the studio and some of the equipment that I have built.

New Print and Old Drawings added.
The new print is a very small edition of a hand embellished/finished drypoint. It was finished by hand because I lost the plate. Yup, you read that right...I lost it. So there are approx five or six viable proofs that will all be finished by hand for a varied edition.
The new drawings are mixed media pieces that are the first two of a five part, self portrait series as filtered through Pink Floyd's The Wall. The reamining three have yet to be completed.
Updates
-Another rocky beach landscape added to the painting gallery.
February 04, 2010
In Loving Memory of Chevy. Two little portraits of one amazing pup who will be missed.
These are in the "Commissions" section of Painting, even though they were gifts. In fact most of the pieces there were gifts, but created specifically for each person to whom they were given.
Updates
-Two more "Rocky Beaches"--with one or two more on the way--were added to the landscapes gallery.
-My "South Main" paintings of Fall River will make an encore appearance at the Cherry&Webb Gallery this April accompanied by the work of two amazing painters Chuck Boucher and Steve Meehan. Their work will also focus on the landscape of Fall River. Stay tuned for more information regarding opening receptions, etc.

Print of the Month Project
The project has finally started and the first two months are up. Why kick of things with just one print?! CLICK HERE to visit the Pring of the Month page.
Updates
-Two more landscapes were added to the painting gallery.
January 2010 ... Happy New Year Everyone!
New and Growing Landscape Gallery
There is a new landscape gallery, which is growing at a pleasing rate, so check back often as I will be posting more soon! CLICK HERE to visit the gallery.
Fall River Historical Society - Palette Pictures Auction
Thanks to the Fall River Historical Society for a great project to twist the minds of artists! The auction proved to be a success, which will have a second round of bidding in the spring, where any unsold palettes will again be available for bidding. CLICK HERE to visit the Historial Society.
Updates
-The Shoppe is now open! Price list is completed and the Fire Sale is posted.
-
Added a new Artist Statement to kick of the new decade
-Added two new landscapes to the painting gallery
-Fixed some broken links on the Links page.
Same song, second verse ... or third.
I have a new site! ... again. After gaining a little more knowledge about website development, I gained the courage to tackle something a bit more involved. So, here goes. As usual, with any endeavor that involves a human, there are bound to be a couple mistakes, typos, broken links, etc. But rest assured that I am still polishing the site and will fix any bugs or plug any holes soon/eventually...I still need to make time for the studio after all!
There are a few new features that I would like to point out:
-A new gallery viewer ... yet, again. I found something kinda fancy, but clean and user-friendly (I hope). It will require that you have a Flash player installed on your computer...though you probably already have it, if you watch things on YouTube and such. But if you don't click >>HERE<< to download it.
-The Shoppe! ... This is stuff that I just can't hold onto and needs to go. My studio is in my small apartment. I run out of room easily. And I just added a considerable amount to my student loan debt, which I start paying soon. Need I say more? Check it out ... please! In fact, go there first.
-Print of the Month ... This is a clever scheme to create deadlines for myself to consistently produce work, to hopefully help me out with my student loans (as mentioned above), and to make some some work that is availble for cheap!
-The About section is kind of a Frequently Asked Questions Page for the work, the website and a brief bio. So check it out when questions arise.
The Bundle of Joy!
Bound and determined to make prints again, I by-passed the commercial presses for a DIY special! Using basic plans purchased from Canadian artist Doug Forsythe, Ryan and I (mostly Ryan) have put together a sweet little number!

In Other News ...
I can finally check off the little box next to "Masters Degree" on my to-do list! As of May 2009, a pretty piece of paper with an emblem and signature from Boston University adorns my living room wall! The degree is in Arts Administration, which covers the managerial, fundraising, legal, marketing, etc end of the artworld. As the department motto goes ... "Making the world safe for art, not making art safe for the world." Check out the B.U. Arts Administration website if you are interested in learning more about the program.
