I am so proud to be invited to exhibit one of my paintings via a series of video projection installations by TZ Projects. It’s called, Going Home: a picture show, running from MAY 15-20th, 8pm-12AM (note start new time!).

The exhibition marks the official launch of TZ Projects. The show “consists of projected video window installations to provide a destination activity for Angelenos during quarantine.” (TZProjects.org)

My painting “Industrial Pastures of the Present” will be projected on a large screen up in the windows of TZ Projects’ space right on the corner of Beverly Blvd & Crescent Heights Blvd. 8070 Beverly Blvd to be exact… right in the center of Los Angeles!

Five nights of coolness and beauty! Read more about the show’s mission here, as well as see the list of many amazing artists who are part of it! Plus, there are ways to benefit charities associated with TZ Projects (please see their website).

So wonderful to hear that art is alive and well in LA! (of course it would be!!)

Oh, and in line with LA’s adherence to the rules during the pandemic, here is how you experience the show: You can view the show from your car or walk up to the window display while adhering to social distancing guidelines. It’s as easy as that!

For those of you not in Los Angeles, I will take video (of the videos!) and post to my social media pages. Do you follow me on Instagram and Facebook? Not yet? Why not?! I provided you links to make it easy…

AND, I have a music show coming up! But one blog post at a time ;)

Industrial Pastures of the Present-mixed media on canvas-58x78” — *Industrial Pastures of the Present*-mixed media on canvas-58x78”

It has been a very exciting time and change is very much in the air! Good changes! (knock wood!) — thank you 2020! I cannot disclose some of the new developments just yet, but good things are a-brewing!!!

I have had three works of mine chosen for a FANTASTIC group show! I was honored to begin with just to have my paintings featured amongst works by such greatly talented artists. But then when I saw the actual show (the opening was a fantastic success, btw, with over 400 person turnout!), I was floored to see my work in such excellent company of other thought-provoking and/or feeling-provoking works of art.

Thanks to Peter Frank (the curator) and Caroline Tufenkian (the gallerist) for putting together an exquisite show! Peter chose the works and Caroline did the placement. How lucky for one of my pieces to be the very first work to start off the show, right next to Alexandra Grant’s work, followed by the work of Robert Standish. Not to mention, a couple got engaged right in front of my painting! If that’s not good juju, then I don’t know what is! Below are pics of the paintings in the show. But before we get to that, let’s talk about who else is in the show…

The show goes until Wed, Feb 26th… BUT, there will be a curator-led walkthrough and closing reception on February 23rd, 3-6pm.

I think this Sunday afternoon will be better than the opening (which was on Jan 18th and I cannot stress enough how amazing the night was with lots of magic in the air). How can one not be excited to hear a curator’s words on his passion and work?! — I guess I can geek out on this kind of stuff regardless of whether I’m in the show or not. Haha!

I do hope I see you there! Info below:
