Paintings: Next 6 in the Solitaire series

These 6 paintings are part of a series (13 in total so far) I've been working on over the past year called Solitaire. Currently they are on view in the show, Small Stories, at the McLean Project for the Arts' Emerson Gallery through March 2.

 

The paintings are portraits of individuals with a circle in their chests. Each circle offers an intimate view into the silent internal dialog we each have; expressing fears, hopes, experiences, dreams, etc..... More to come.

New Show Opening Jan.17 -March 2: Small Stories

 
Small Stories,  a new show that I am a part of at the McLean Project for the Arts  officially opens tomorrow, Jan.17, 2013, from 7-9pm.
 

The show, running from Jan. 17-March 2 in MPA's Emerson Gallery, is curated by Nancy Sausser and features the work of Nora Sturges, Matthew Mann, and myself. I will be showing 10  paintings (almost all are new).

 

All three "are painters whose work delves into the realm of the personal narrative. They have in common a crisp, careful, objective style and a penchant for working on a relatively small scale. Each of these artists make work that suggests a story, in an undefined, open-ended, multi-layered way. The works provide a window into the places, thought, interests, and impressions experienced by the artist. Each painting provides an opportunity to combine the artists’ perspective with that of the viewer, producing an imaginative collaboration of possibilities."
