Amor Fati, love of fate, represents works that have passion towards life. Parallel to turmoil, history and progress - is a creative process of color, narrative and subjectivity. This is when an artist comes in to deliberate, paint, and tell stories of justice, torment, truth or even chaos - to the

devotion to " what is ". Curated by Lian Ladia.

House Cleaning on My Website!

Finally got off my ass ( well actually I was sitting down to do this) and cleaned up my website. I took some work out and added some new ones. Take a peek!

In the Slow Lane

Not having a show for a while has been really nice. I'm actually hanging out with my wonderful wife, and my 2 year old is calling me daddy again. So much for being a studio hermit! I've been plowing through all my slides and photographing work to build a digital archive. It's been a real pain, but once it's done, it'll be pretty sweet. I'm using Bento 3 by Filemaker if anyone is interested. I think it's for a Mac though. Let me know and I can give you a template.

Here are a few slides I scanned of work from the 1980's.

Pan 2!

Thursday's turnout was great with many friends making the trek to the city. I appreciate all your support and as usual it's always great to see and talk to you. Here are some pictures from the opening.

My super supportive wife doing Vanna White!

Happy New Year!
