August Art Events

 

Cottonwood Center for the Arts

Cottonwood Center for the Arts is pleased to present a juried community exhibition for the month of August: METAL

Metal has contributed its unique qualities to fine art for centuries, and contemporary artists continue to find surprising and inventive ways to utilize it their art practices. Of course sculpture comes to mind, from the monumental rusty steel forms of recently passed minimalist icon Richard Serra to the bright, light, and sharp kinetic works by Colorado Springs’ own Starr Kempf. 2D artists have equally inspiring materials in the form of ever-improving metallic pigments, as well as metal leaf applications.

This call invited artists to submit works that either highlight metal as a primary medium or depict subjects made of metal. All mediums were considered.

See three of my new works at this fascinating show.  

 

New Pikes Peak Arts Council Member Show

Enjoy good food and a large selection of my art at Salad or Bust in Downtown Colorado Springs this month as a member of the Pikes Peak Art Council. 

How Do You See God? 

This annual show at Academy Art and Frame Company tries to answer that question from multiple viewpoints. My latest acrylic painting "Winter Sun - Psalm 84:11" and "Light in the Stairwell - John 8:12" demonstrate my view of God as Light of the World. These will be on show through the month of August. Images from the show are also published in a book that can be signed and purchased.

Book Signing Reception: August 15, 4-7 pm

December Poetry and Art

 

I am pleased to announce the publication of poetry collections now available at Lulu.com and other fine retailers.

 

 

The Mountain Artists show, with the theme of water, continues at the Woodland Park Library through February.

Academy Art and Frame Company gallery in Colorado Springs has a 20% off of everything sale December 12-January 31! My Gnarled series is still there along with the very eclectic artists represented.  Consider the gift of art for Christmas.

The Manitou Art Center's First Amendment Gallery and members show is December 6-February 1. Four of my pieces are there, with one new one titled "Juvenile Jackdaw (England)". Original artwork is a lasting gift to grace homes and offices and a great investment in the arts.

Merry Christmas and very Happy New Year!
