“I am a lonely painter, I live in a box of paints…”

Well, not quite, but I am certainly spending a lot more time in the studio these days, which suits me just fine.

One more reason to keep on creating, happily, is that I will be participating in the online edition of fair this summer!

To add to this excitement, they will be celebrating their 65th anniversary! That is quite an achievement, hats off to the Staff and Board for their pluck and perseverance in seeing this event sustain and thrive through many challenging years as of late. You are quite a team!

Another day in the studio, needing a respirator to save myself from the stench of Gorilla Glue. Oh, the hazards of being an artist!

Working on one of three new pieces that will be featured towards the end of March. Details to come!

I had the pleasure of attending the opening of ’s ‘Epoch’ exhibition last Thursday at Gallery. The work was magical—as always.

As a painter, I like to think I understand the all nuances of paint, but Dorian’s work reminds me that I really don’t.

What fascinates me most is how his paintings defy the medium itself. They don’t read as paintings—at least not in the traditional sense. His process gives the surface a quality that feels somewhere between high-resolution print and 3D relief, creating a transcendent experience that evolves upon approach. In an age of high fakery, when it’s prudent to question everything we see and hear, his work blurs the lines between the real and the believable.

Take the time to read his artist statement and visit the exhibition, on until December 6th—it’s well worth seeing in person.
