Three Artworks Sell at VCA 2020 Miniatures ShowThe Vashon Center for the Arts 2020 Miniature Show had a successful December run. This is always a fun event and this year there were 200 pieces by 89 artists. My three contributions sold. They focused upon the Palouse region of eastern Washington where I have spent several days throughout 2020 photographing the phenomenal environment. Each of these hand-crafted works are 6x6-inches, printed by me on 100% cotton rag paper with archival pigment ink. My goal with these images was to help fuel a few visual escapes to a colorful and fascinating place that you can return to again and again. It’s easy to get stir crazy these COVID days!

Peace By Piece Concert Art for Northwest SinfoniettaI am honored to have been asked by the Northwest Sinfonietta chamber orchestra to provide artwork for their 2020 broadcast concert Peace By Piece. Selected images appear in the background for each of the nine compositions of the program. This was a fun challenge that brings to mind the Lexicon of Light from 2019 as well as Visual Music. A big difference is that I had to provide complementary art for each piece (very diverse classical and jazz-oriented works) and had five days to make it happen! Northwest Sinfonietta is celebrating their 30th anniversary. They are headquarted in Tacoma. This performance, due to COVID-19, was recorded live at a theatre on November 4th.
Three Images Selected for Exhibition in OregonI’m happy to share that I have three images included in the Lightbox Gallery’s “Let the Sun Shine In” national exhibition which runs from July 15 to September 12, 2020. This exhibition will hang in the Lightbox Gallery in beautiful Astoria, Oregon, and it will also be posted online. 211 Ritzville

The Lightbox is one of my favorite galleries, and Chelsea and Michael keep trying new things, which is very important during these challenging times for art venues. "Marina" Selected for 6th Annual National Photography Competition & ExhibitionI am honored to announce that my image, “Marina” has been selected for the 6th Annual National Photography Competition & Exhibition sponsored by the Allegany Arts Council in Cumberland, Maryland. This has become a very popular and competitive event, and I had been planning to use the opening in gorgeous western Maryland as a stepping stone to visit good friends in the state. The pandemic has transitioned the exhibition to an online event, which will open Saturday, June 27 and runs until July 18th. The event website is nicely done with sections for invited artists, the digital gallery, and award winners (which will be announced on the 27th). Marina conveys the geometry and humanity of the boathouse community common to marinas in many places.
Three New Prints Selected for 2020 Midwest Center for Photography Juried ExhibitionI am honored to have three photographic prints selected for the 2020 Midwest Center for Photography Juried Exhibition. This marks the third consecutive year that I’ve participated in this fine art event. I’m especially happy that these are new works I’ve created within the past year. Gotta keep moving! The exhibition is at the Center’s Wichita gallery and runs from March 6-27th. This first image, The Other Side of the Tracks, was photographed in the light rail transit tunnel in downtown Seattle. The site is undergoing construction which has visually changed things.
This second image, Welcome To The Working Week, was produced for a group exhibition entitled Visual Music, in which the artist had to create artwork that reflected a song that one liked a lot. Mine was the initial cut from Elvis Costello's first album, My Aim Is True. The image captures the essence of commuters entering downtown Seattle from a busy ferry terminal.
