Howdy! See y'all this Friday, Sept. 19 in Santa Fe!

Join Me Friday, September 19 in Santa Fe for SpiritStone! 

How is a California stone sculptor influenced by a 25-year relationship with the Santa Fe spirit? SpiritStone answers this question. I'll be giving a quick talk at my reception this Friday, Sept. 19 between 5-7pm about my connection with the Southwest. Santa Fe reaches out and creates a deeply personal connection with each artist who visits. On my very first drive into Santa Fe the light, the mountains, and the interplay between them just called to me as a sculptor. I've been exhibiting in Santa Fe Galleries now for 25 years. Come by and meet Nancy Hunter, the gallery owner who continues to represent me since 2004. Hunter Kirkland Contemporary, 200-B Canyon Road, Santa Fe, NM.

When was the last time you were in Carmel? Join me this Saturday, August 16th at the Titus Contemporary Gallery. Mary Titus, owner, is hosting a reception for me from 4-7pm. At 5pm I will be giving a quick 10 minute talk about my new work, the stone and tools. Mary, an abstract painter, has her work on display creating dramatic accents to my colorful bronze patinas and stone sculpture. She has 16 of my pieces featured in her gallery, front and center. It's a show to see plus it would be great to see you on Saturday! 
San Carlos between 5th & 6th, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

SpiritStone

Celebrating 25 Years of Exhibiting in Santa Fe

Howdy! The 2014 Collection is almost done. The new sculptures will start their journey soon. A private Collector's Preview will kick it off before the pieces travel my 2014 Season Line-Up of Shows. I've been showing in Santa Fe galleries for 25 years so this collection is called SpiritStone. It's all about my connection with the Southwest Spirit, my travels there, the rocks I've discovered along the way and bringing that Spirit back into my Alexander Valley studio. Check out the stones I've chiseled into - Utah Picasso Marble, Utah Calcite, Mexican Fluorite, New Mexico Alabaster and Nevada Zebra Marble. 

Lucky and Luckier

Cambria Stone Symposium - Love Carving by the Ocean

I have a carved rock that says, "If you're lucky enough to be at the beach you're lucky enough." Well, I'm luckier cause I get to carve at the beach. Just got back from Cambria and Camp Ocean Pines where they hold the annual Stone Symposium. I've been an instructor there many years but this year I just went to carve, hang out and I even learned a few things. Nice to be back in my own studio though.
