Mozart Myths Revisited...

"Mozart: Misfit and Genius", 42''x58''x2.25''

Mixed media assemblage on board

Several weeks ago I was approached by Lovetts Gallery in Tulsa, OK to join with nine other artists to create large-scale musical themed pieces for the OK Mozart Festival Patron Dinner in Bartlesville, OK June 18. After much thought and lack of sleep, I decided to really step out of the box and this is the result of over a month of research, gathering pieces, and applying paint! You can follow the progress and read my narrative on Lovetts blog and also learn about the other great artists involved. It has been an honor to work on this piece and a fun journey. Maybe I will do a series of these! OK Mozart Art blog

SOLD

My recent painting "Emanation" was awarded Outstanding Abstract in the March BoldBrush online contest and... to top that off, was sold by InArt Gallery in Santa Fe last week along with a 36x36'' titled "Escape to Dreamworld".

A big Thank You to InArt and the collectors who chose to live with my art!

In other news, I have been selected to create a large music themed piece along with nine other artists for the OK Mozart Festival in Bartlesville, OK in June. The joint exhibition curated by my gallery in Tulsa, Lovetts Gallery, will hang at the annual Patron dinner on June 18th. I am very excited to be a part of this event and you may read updates on the art as it's created on their blog. OK Mozart works

Stay tuned for more on this special project as it unfolds!
