The Best of Mixed Media
I am happy to say that I have a piece of art in one of Northlight’s latest books, Incite: Dreams Realized, The Best of Mixed Media edited by Tonia Jenny. It is certainly a “dream realized” to be included in this colorful, inspiring book of mixed media artists. I have included an image of the […]
A UNESCO honor
Someone from the UNESCO office of the World Heritage Forests contacted me about the possibility of using one of my forest images on the cover of their annual report about the world heritage forests. I was honored to be able to contribute to this worthy organization. They sent me a copy of the finished product […]
Sketchbook Project

I was to do one for Telluride, Colorado, one for Creede, Colorado and one to hang in the Governor’s office in Denver. This was great […]
Tackling a Portrait
I am fairly sure that I have finished a portrait project for a Blue Pig Gallery Show which opens on January 22, 2010. The assignment was to create a portrait of a local community leader/personality in the artist’s usual medium. I chose Dave Fishell, a historian and story-teller who is well known in Grand Junction […]
