NYFA MARK 10 Troy Group show

It's such an honor to be included with so many great artists at the NYFA MARK 10 Troy Group show at the House of Creative Soul in Saratoga Springs, NY.  I really should do a blog entry on each and every artist in the show, as I truly am impressed and inspired by all of their work.  When I walked into the gallery for the first time yesterday, I was blown away by Deborah Zlotsky's paintings, as well as the paintings by Leslie Parke and Yolanda Sharpe, and the photo-based work of Jeri Eisenberg.  And that's just the first few that come to mind.  Incredible work by everyone, really!  The show runs from October 6th to November 28th, with the opening reception on Thursday, October 14th.

Keiko Sono wrote a nice little blog entry about me on the WVAF site. Thanks, Keiko, but I really AM stressed out, and it DOES get to me! I'm trying to learn how to relax...

ArtPrize Installation Complete!

My BFFs Brian and John finished installing my ArtPrize video projection for "Wastewater Runoff Pipe" at the B.O.B. in Grand Rapids, Michigan yesterday.  They did a fabulous job and overcame the many hurdles that you often encounter when installing in a non-art space - I'm extremely grateful to them and impressed by the incredibly professional looking results.  Take a peek at the install:

Links to my friends from the NYFA MARK 10 program

NYFA Mark 10 was a professional career development program I participated in sponsored by the New York Foundation for the Arts. I met many wonderful and talented artists through the program, and below are links to some of their sites, in no particular order:

• Carlos Loret de Mola is a photographer living in Hudson, NY, whose work explores some similar themes as my own. I particularly like his "Being Upstate" series.

• Kathleen Sherin is a Buffalo, NY based artist who creates abstract collages, incorporating various printmaking and painting techniques. Her "Border" series explores the complexity of microscopic biological forms and texture through layering and transparency.

• Oreen Cohen and I share a fascination with combining industrial and natural decay, most evident in her found object sculptural installations.

• Dorothy Fitzgerald is an accomplished painter living in Buffalo, NY, who creates bold mixed media collage paintings that explore emotional and philosophical issues relating to spirituality vs. sexuality. She also has a blog where she opens up her studio and process.

• Nancy Muller paints landscapes and portraits that are both sensitive and expressionistic. Her style is loose, but captures the soft qualities of light and expression.

• Patti Robinson is an avid and eclectic collector and creator. Her mixed media collages and sculptures combine anything and everything to create fantastic new visions.

• Jean Luongo paints people and things with both humor and a sense of purpose.

• Rebecca Adams navigates between beauty and expressive decay with her mixed media paintings.
