But if you have never made a still life then please check it out!

Art Gallery Representation
27 Mar 2006 at 1:52 pmI have some exciting news! It looks like I am going to be represented by a gallery very shortly. I have been in contact with the owner and will be sending her several pieces of my work; I just have to get them framed first. The gallery is in Nebraska, which should hopefully open up a whole new collector base for me. As of now, most of my US collectors are from the east coast and the southwest.

Inspiration...
15 Feb 2006 at 11:56 amI have been watching project runway (reruns I think) which is a guilty pleasure for me since I usually disdain the TV set as a total waste of time.
