First thursday this month (October 6th) I’ll be part of a show at Graeter Gallery here in Portland. It’s the grand opening at a beautiful new space owned by a long time collector and friend of mine. I’ll be there for the opening so be sure to stop by!
Ill also be in a two man show there at the end of december full of all new huge works! 🙂
Super amped to be part of this. I’ll be painting all weekend with my studio doors open to the public. So be sure to come by and check out over 300 of my paintings, and get the chance to talk with me while I work! Also note that there are over 100 other artists involved with this event too.

A unique opportunity to experience art as it is being made in the artist’s own space. In their studios, watch any of 100 artists who paint, sculpt,
draw, print, throw, carve, sew, and more. Ask about their tools and techniques. Learn more about art from the artists themselves.
Indulge your curiosity and buy a Tour Guide. Walk, bike, drive or bus to studios around the Portland metro area Saturday and Sunday, October 8, 9
