Exhibition Announcement

Palimpsest II was an exhibition during the spring of 2014; it explored the relationship between my paintings, photographs, and etchings. Evidence of time is embedded in the surfaces that have been worked and reworked, sometimes for years, whether in a painting or captured in a photograph. My Palimpsest paintings and etchings were first exhibited with Judy Ireland and Marcia Brookbank at their IXL Gallery on Portrero Hill in San Francisco. This is the first time photographs were exhibited together with the paintings and etchings. Some of the artworks can now be viewed here or on my Tumblr blog.

Street Photography Night

Street Photography Night

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

One never knows what will be found when walking around an urban environment, especially at night. On some nights the streets are empty and it seems no one is around. On other nights the crowded streets are filled with a wide variety of people walking, talking, weaving in and out of the shadows. Walking around downtown Olympia, shooting images with DavidF on a hot summer night in August 2013, we found ourselves in an alley by the freewall of the Olympia Film Society. Thanks to MM.
