Nude at the Artists Council

My life size photograph on display at the exhibition opening reception of the Artists Council. Rarely seen in these exhibitis, a woman full frontal nudity. The only nude, it seems to have required warning signs at the two entances.

My photograph “Fine Art Photography?” is now part of the current Artists Council exhibit at the Artists Center at the Galen. This life-size work critiques the concept of “fine art photography,” featuring a striking 6-foot-tall nude subject—a rare inclusion in this space.

The piece made quite an impression at the opening reception, drawing many reactions. A sign warning visitors about nudity was even required! Seeing viewers interact with the life-size composition—standing eye-to-eye with the figure—was at the least, very interesting..

The exhibit runs through January 12, 2025. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience it in person!

Dice at the Galen

At the opening reception for the Artists Council show “Fun+Games” at the Artists Center at the Galen, my photograph “Dice.” This piece is created by infusing dyes into a specially coated 40″x30″ aluminum panel, resulting in a photograph of almost magical luminescence. I’m deeply appreciative of the opportunity to exhibit in the museum-quality setting of the Galen in Palm Desert, California, where the show will be on display through June 30th, 2024. Thanks!

Fun+Games

Join us for the opening arts reception of “Fun+Games” this Thursday, June 13th, from 4-6 pm at the Artists Center at the Galen in Palm Desert, California. You will see my photograph featuring 300 of the most common item of fun and games from throughout history and around the world. Each item glows red, in a sea of black, achieved by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum. The result is a magical luminescence, presented in a huge 30×40 inch format. There will be much “Fun+Games” to see. Thanks!

“No Butter”

Very fun! My photograph “No Butter” was given it’s own wall space at the newly opened “Through The Lens” photography show at the Artists Council Center at the Galen in Palm Desert California. The show is up through April 21 2024.

Just the popcorn. Everybody loves popcorn. No boxes, no special preparation. Just popcorn poured out on all black. An original photograph displayed by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum. The result is a magical luminescence.
