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:

Seeing Red

2/14/2024

"Red Tree" was juried into the "Seeing Red" exhibit showing now at the Broward Art Guild, 3280 NE 32nd Street, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33308. During my Great Smoky Mountains National Park artist-in-residence I was driving up Rich Mountain Road, a serpentine dirt mountain road leaving Cades Cove, when I saw it. Stopped me in my tracks. Available 20x30 inches on metal and custom sizes and substrates. Let me know :)

Save the Date - Seeing RED Exhibit

1/11/2024

Love to have you join me. My entry in this juried show is "Red Tree," 20x30 inches on aluminum metal. Seeing it while driving on Rich Mountain Road, a long, dirt serpentine road leading out of Cades Cove in the Great Smokey Mountains, literally made me stop in my tracks. Slammed on the breaks and took my time taking in this perfect abstract that nature created.

Opening Reception: Saturday, February 3, 2024, 5:30-8:30pm. Join us to cast a ballot for the People’s Choice award!
