Nueva Era Show 2011

 

Come on out to Gunnison Arts Center tomorrow from 5-8pm to check out the 2011 Nueva Era show, a mixed media show featuring Gunnison Valley artists. Thanks to Laura Cooper Elm for putting this show together!

I'll be showing some brand new mixed media pieces, including this Long Shot Shelf.

I hope to see you there!

Steve Belz

Today I had a chance to catch up with my friend Steve Belz, who is in grad school for ceramics at Kansas State University. He's been doing some really cool work! You can check it out by clicking here. Now would be a great time to buy his work, before he becomes famous.

Show Time Again!

It's hard to believe how this winter has flown by. I had a really good show in Westchester last fall, my last one for 2010, and got to hang out with some friends and family for longer than I had planned. Now, it's March already, and after a fair amount of powder skiing mixed in with working on various projects, it's time to hit the road for the kick off of the 2011 show season. I'm cutting back a little on my show schedule this year, but I have two coming up: The Scottsdale Art Festival next weekend, March 11-13; and the American Craft Council St Paul Show, April 15-17. I'm looking forward to warming my bones and seeing some friends in Scottsdale, and of course to having a good show!

The Westchester Craft Show

I will be showing my work at the Westchester Craft Show in White Plains, NY this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, October 15,16, and 17. You can find more information and directions by clicking here. Come see me in Booth 27 (please check the show program in case there are booth assignment changes).


Here's a brief description from the show website: Celebrating its seventeenth anniversary, the Westchester Craft Show is a leader among juried contemporary American craft shows. The show offers its sophisticated New York and Connecticut audience a highly-selective showcase of exceptional work and the opportunity to meet the artists who come from all over the United States. The 115 outstanding artists will be presenting a rich diversity of craft: basketry, ceramics, glass, fiber decorative and wearable, furniture, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media, and wood.


I'm looking forward to a great show. I hope to see you there!

Artwalk Tonight!

      
        My work will be featured at the JC Leacock Photography Gallery tonight during Artwalk. Come to the gallery at 327 Elk Avenue in Crested Butte between 5 and 8 for some refreshments and good conversation, and check out some cool furniture and photography.

New Work

Here are a few recently completed pieces.

"Plant Parts" is a found object coffee table incorporating an old industrial hand wheel with organic leaf forms. In addition to the cast iron found object, it's made of claro walnut, ash, and 3/8"thick tempered glass. Buy it here.

Here's the latest in the "Aggregate Bench" series. This one has a bookmatched, figured claro walnut seat and is the first piece made using the recycled concrete mix I've been experimenting with. Buy it here.

This coffee table,"Harmony Interrupted", is also pretty recent. It has a bookmatched, figured claro walnut top from the same board as the aggregate bench above, and cast concrete base sections. Buy it here.
