Newly Framed Work

These are some of my newly framed pieces for my show coming up in June 19th, 2009 at Avante Art Gallery.



These cardboard pieces were inspired by my friend, artist Tony Renner, who suggested back in January a possible future collaborative show of works on cardboard. While this has never really been realized, we both HAVE been working on cardboard since, in our own styles, and I've managed to sell a couple created since the seed was planted. Painted on cut corrugated cardboard, the "January" pieces took on a really different personality when framed in 8-ply mats w/glass over them- like a prehistoric fossil plopped into a museum case- suddenly refined in their presentation.
