Selling Out or Cashing In? Why not both? Upon retiring, I decided I needed a side hustle – selling stuff with my art on it. After much thought and research, I decided to set up a shop on Red Bubble, a global online marketplace for print-on-demand products based on user-submitted artwork and designs created by me (and other creators). Soon you’ll be able to fill…

Summer 2023 updates
It’s been a hot summer and I haven’t gotten around to posting any updates, so just to catch you up…. I was awarded a prize at the 93rd Annual San Antonio Art League Museum Show (April 2 – June 3, 2023)! I quickly squandered all my prize money celebrating with oldest son John and his BF in Austin on the way home. Shout out to…

The tale of a stretcher
This will probably be a long drawn out shaggy dog (because cats aren’t shaggy) story but bear with me. I was reorganizing my studio, trying to improve my storage situation. These days, a large painting for me is around 40 x 60 inches, the biggest size I can easily transport. When I was much younger, I worked ridiculously large – like 4 1/2 feet by…
Art Room Small Works Show, Friday Nov. 4, 2022
I love Small Works shows (and enter them whenever I can). The holiday season will usually see a number of them and it’s a great time to pick up some little – usually very affordable – pieces. If you’ve been following me on Facebook or Instagram, you’ve seen lots of my cat-related art. Now’s your chance to add one to your collection! I’ve got three…
Fall 2022 art happenings
I’m in a few more shows this fall – very exciting! Fort Worth Biennial 2022 at Arts Fort Worth The outbreak of Covid put the kibosh on the previous Biennial. Of the three pieces I entered for this year’s Fort Worth Biennial, I was especially happy the juror, Lilia Kudili, chose “Programming Man.” It’s a big painting and has almost everyone of my favorite things…

Enrique Fernández Cervantes, Visual Arts Coordinator / Curator at the BHCC contacted me after…
2.62 Persons: A House; A Home; A Statistic; A Family
I’ve been fortunate enough to get into several shows this spring, including two in Dallas as part of the ART214 exhibits, and two in the Rio Brazos show in Granbury, sponsored by Tarleton State University. Closer to home, Texas Artists Coalition’s upcoming exhibit, 2.62 Persons: A House; A Home; A Statistic; A Family will include three of my paintings. To say I was shocked all…
