Thanks for coming out!

Thank you everyone so much for coming out to my art opening and making it a big success! Thank you so much for the support, I really couldn't have done it without all of you. I'm so lucky. The wine was drank, the cheese was all but nearly gone, and the cream puffs lasted longer than I thought, but with 90 degree weather, I guess the strawberries looked more quenching. My grandma and aunts came down from Bellingham, and my dad was there with his artsy party hat on! Big thanks go out to Larry Sommers for helping haul my big paintings to Bothell. Who said mini vans don't get chicks? After the Bothell show, it may be another couple of years before my next show, but I already have some ideas, and will get painting for it soon!

This piece is what started it all for my upcoming show "Scenes From the Second Story". I started painting it September of 2006 and I just finished her up for the show. This scene shows a Brillo Box aircraft carrier docking for deployment. The Delta Team consisting of armored dinos, lightning-fast rabbit, tentacled octopus and pincher sharp scorpion emerge into full paisley explosion. Drumming panda and those that have already earned their "stripes" oversee the procession.

"Scenes From the Second Story" will be on exhibit from June 28th - July 29, 2008.
Opening reception is Saturday, June 28th from 5-8pm. This will be a catered event with wine and refreshments.

This piece is the newest in an ongoing series called "Galactic Noah's Ark". These spacemen have spent the last 4 years traveling the galaxy for endangered space creatures. They have met challenging beasts from giant alligators to poisonous toads, and this goose has proven to be a mighty adversary. With a wingspan of over 6 feet and fiercely territorial, these spacemen have their work cut out for them.
