| Commentary... Galleries, Gatherings and Thanks. One of my favorite things about being an artist is the social aspect it entails. I get really excited to do a new show! People gather to view what you have created, and within these gatherings are limitless possibilities to meet someone you might never have had the chance to meet. The work by the other artists never ceases to amaze me, and I walk away with new found inspiration every time. Lately, even the prospect of an opportunity to show my work is enough to drive me to creating something new just for the occasion. |

It was very different when I first started out in 2005. I barely had enough work to do a small street fair in my hometown. I was worried about selling anything because that would mean I wouldn't have enough work to show for the next outing that was already booked. I also had a hard time imagining that I'd be able to consistently offer fresh new compositions that didn't look hurried or forced.
In contrast, I now have work hanging in 4 or 5 locations at any given time and I hardly ever feel lost for new ideas to explore. The change happened as I eventually began to throw caution to the wind. I learned to trust the time-frame of my own artistic output. There is a Zen that comes when your inspiration, creative process and ambition align. So, here are some pictures from this years past events and a list of the people that I would like to thank personally for all their support and creative input. Thank You: Agni Zotis, Juliette Pelletier, Jenn Cummins, Shuhei Yamatani, Hisa Yamamoto, Montgomery Maxton, Ted Reiderer, Un Lee, Renee Phillips, Kay Daniels, Fort Lee Artists Guild, Cresskill arts council, Mike Annechiarico, Krissy Saccone, Brian Skiba, Dan Marquardt, Erik Von Ploennies, Wayne Carvajal, Gokce Akyurek, Tim Kelly and Melissa Stoll  Theme: Howling Mad   traveling small works art show.
