Five Pieces in Sunrise's New City Hall Collection

8/1/2024

Quite honored to share that the City of Sunrise recently acquired five works from my Everglades Collection for their permanent collection for their new City Hall. They custom sized them for placement in specific locations. Printed on canvas and placed in shadow frames, sizes vary from 24x36" to 40x40" to 5 feet wide.

I recently had a chance to see the installation. The works are, top to bottom: "Pride," "Early Morning Fog," "Mother and Child," "Athena" and "Everglades Sunset".

If you do business with the City of Sunrise, hope you'll check them out.

It's a Wrap - The Spirit of This Place Exhibition by Phoenix

6/18/2024

Pictured with friend and painter extraordinaire Twyla Gettert.

Although my biggest, best solo exhibit yet may have closed it lives on online.

I was so exciting to be extended the privilege to takeover the Pompano Beach Cultural Center for some 6 weeks. The 53 pieces on exhibit represented my various collections including Everglades, Rocky Mountains NP, Great Smoky Mountains NP, Ireland, Landscapes, WingedLife, Wildlife, Alaska, Venice and more.

Grateful for all the 100's and 100's of visitors who attended the opening reception, private showings, group gatherings, one-on-one personal tours and walk-ins I didn't even know. Big heart-felt thanks to the Pompano Beach Cultural Center for hosting me and Adriane Clarke, Cultural Facilities Supervisor at City of Pompano Beach, in particular who invited me to "take my exhibit on the road". And, Justin Kolosick for his care and precision installing and de-installing the exhibit.

"The Spirit of This Place" exhibit lives on through the online gallery collection and separate videos of each of the exhibition's three galleries. Here are the links:
