American Cancer Society Give Hope a Home Gala

I was one of forty artists who had the privilege of making a box for Utah chapter of the American Cancer Society's Hope Gala this year. The Society is raising money to build a Hope Lodge in Salt Lake City, which will be home to cancer patients and their families who travel from out of town to receive treatment. The Gala was a huge success and 100% of the proceeds go towards the lodge.

Here's a link that tells more about the project:

Review in 15 Bytes

I recently had a couple of interviews with art critic and 15 Bytes writer, Ehren Clark. We talked a lot about the meaning of my work and Ehren was able to put it all into words. It is fascinating as an artist to read a literary interpretation of your work. I think Ehren did a great job. Here's the review.

Relevant - The Kimball Art Center

I'm excited to be part to this year's Kimball Art Center Relevant Show. It will feature art work from the artists in residence, their mentors, and past participants. I was a mentor last year and had an amazing experience. The work in the show will be of incredible quality and represents artists from across the country. The artists in residence are up-and-coming art students and their mentors are professionals. The program ends with the opening of the Park City Kimball Art Center Art Festival.

This show opens August 3, with a reception from 6-9 PM at the art center on Main Street, Park City.

Artists for the New Century

For the next month I'll have a piece in "Artists for the New Century," a show at the Bennington Art Center in Bennington, Vermont. 70 artists were selected by the editors of American Art Collector, Southwest Art & Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine. Also in the show is fellow SLC artist, Aaron Bushnell. The show is June 9 through July 15.

Continuing my exploration into things a little more 3D

This is a study for a larger work using layered panels. I really like how the added depth hints at the feel of the city. All of the images used were photographs I took during my last trip to New York. Below it is a detail shot taken from the side.

Accepted to show at Finch Lane in 2013

I received this letter in the mail a few days ago. The details as to when the show will be have yet to be made, but I'm excited nonetheless.

300 Plates 2012

Every year, Art Access, one of Utah's best places to see and learn about art, holds a fund-raiser called 300 Plates. This year 130 artists did one or more plates for the event. A "plate" is actually a 11" x 10" sheet of aluminum, steel, or plexiglass. The fundraising event was held tonight, but plates will be on display through June 7. Here's a link to Art Access: http://accessart.org/ These are the three plates I did for the fundraiser.

Untitled
48" x 24" x 3"
This is a new idea I've been working with for a little while. After going to New York and walking the streets for two days straight, I couldn't shake the feeling of being so surrounded by buildings. This is an interpretation of that experience.

Making this piece was a great experience. Soho Myriad (Atlanta) did an excellent job of framing and installing the work. Thanks to Aaron Hansen for taking the photo.
