I’m happy to say that I’m one of the artists currently exhibiting at the new Gallery 101 in Fort Lauderdale. The Gallery opened on August22nd with a spectacular event. Two more events followed, with the launching of the Culture Network and the fundraising event for Breast Cancer research. The gallery has over 60 local South Florida Artists. If you’re looking to buy original art or just like looking come out to our next event.

Last year I participated in the Artist as Entrepreneur Institute that is generously presented by Broward County Cultural Division. I highly recommend this program for all local artists. The next session starts next Saturday, June 6th. Click here for more information.

Here is an interview I found on YouTube of Paul Dorrell being interviewed on NBC6 Miami. I read his book, “Living the Artist’s Life”, and I highly recommend it.
This past Saturday night at Art Fusion Gallery was an exciting one. Two of my friends are exhibiting there. The place was packed. The art was fantastic. I love seeing so much talent in South Florida.
Charlotte Sundquist (founder of the South Florida Artists Association) and I drove down to Miami with Gisele Haselbarth, one of the artists exhibiting that night. Her Abstract photography was bold and surprising.
LeeAnna Yater’s Fiber art is colorful and unique. She is exhibiting a new body of work completed in 2008.
I was recently inspired to paint on unprimed canvas. I saw a series of paintings on my last trip to Wynwood in Miami that were painted this way. I had some very thin linen canvas and this is the result. I decided to do a spontaneous loop design almost like handwriting. I like the way the paint gets absorbed into the canvas. I’m not sure about this particular composition but I will do this again. Is it toooo Florida?
Many years ago when I first moved to New York City, I met Len Favara. He was an Art Director at Trahey Advertising. Lucky for me he hired me to be his assistant. Trahey Advertising later became Peter Rogers Associates and Len and I continued to work together for 9 years. Back then I was always bugging him because he wasn’t painting. About six years ago he invited me to a showing of his work in Punta Gorda, Florida. He inspired me to get more serious about my work.
He takes everyday people in everyday situations and glorifies them. He brings back a simpler time in Bensonhurst Brooklyn. He is represented at the Presseller Gallery.
I’m a little behind in my blogging. I promise to do better.
On May 10th a group of us from the South Florida Artist Association went gallery hopping in the Design and Wynwood districts of Miami. Our friend Jacklyn Laflamme shows her work at the Art Fusion Gallery in the Design District. Her work is fun, vibrant, colorful.
I captured this example of her work from her site. jacklynlaflamme.com Visit her on the second Saturday of the month at Art Fusion Gallery. It’s worth the trip.
