NOLA HALLOWEEN

Over the course of Halloween weekend, in New Orleans I had the pleasure of collaborating on a painting with fellow artists/friends Damon Soule and Oliver Vernon.......

In progress paintings.....

Here are couple paintings I stared in the studio when I got back from Symbiosis. Freshly inspired after the collective head-space shared with Oliver Vernon and David Lee,I can see a shift in this new body of work.Very excited to see where these paintings go!

Symbiosis Flicks

Here are a few pics of the collaboration painting that David Choong lee,Oliver Vernon and I did at the Symbiosis Gathering that took place in Yosemite September 18-20Th
