"The Gypsy Life"
36 x 48 in
Oil on Canvas
There was a great show this past weekend that I was lucky to be a part of. I showed two new pieces and four older ones. I collaborated with three new pieces as well. It was a lot of work getting ready for this show but worth every moment of it. Here is a great video showcasing opening night of the show and artworks from the other participating artist.
This painting I hold very dear to my heart. I have been wanting to execute this one for about 9 years. Its a story I came up with when living in Florence, Italy. Narrative paintings have always been a direction I wanted to go with. Telling a story and connecting with the viewer with my paintings is something I am getting into and very excited about.

Sorry for the bad picture of this one and of "The Gypsy Life", I am in process of getting these professionally shot.
The space the event was held at is called "Architectural Antiques". Great venue with so much rich history with every antique item. There was also a band playing while the show was going on. These pictures were taken the day after the opening, I did not have time to take photos of the show on opening night due to how busy it was.
My ball point pen drawings.
This was the space leading to the other side where the bar was and more art work was embedded with surrounding antiques.
Entrance to the show.
One of the main rooms with a couple pieces from Peter Geyen.
This was one of the collaboration pieces Peter Geyen and I worked on. I did the painting and Peter completed the sculptures on top. Always great to work with Peter on these projects.
"Cutting Board"
16 x 20 in
Oil on Canvas
I painted this one about a year ago and finally got it framed. Was excited to show it with the frame for the show.
Another piece Peter and I worked on together. I drew the portrait in oil pastels and Peter completed the rest.
This one was another piece Peter and I completed. I completed the drawing in charcoal on MDF board. What I enjoy about working with Peter is always trying different mediums and different ideas that push me as an artist.
The show was so much fun to be a part of, by the end of opening night I had no voice and extremely exhausted. Thank you to everyone that made it out and made it such a great event. I am looking forward to many more.
Cheers!
