Drawing Magazine Article

I am so excited to be featured in an article in the Winter 2010 edition of American Artist Drawing magazine! The article talks about my path to becoming an artist, as well as some of the techniques used in my hands and self portrait drawings in colored pencil. You can subscribe to Drawing magazine on the Artist Daily website or order a copy of the Winter issue here: http://www.interweavestore.com/Art/Drawing-Magazine/Drawing-Winter-2010.html

Faces of Winter Exhibit

The Connecticut Society of Portrait Artists is holding a "Faces of Winter" exhibition beginning February 5th. My piece Eclipse will be among the over 70 portraits on display. See the exhibit announcement below for more details on the event.

New Year, New Studio

Over the holidays I've been busy moving into a new house and new studio. I'm really excited about having more room to store my art, as well as a larger workspace. The first two photos below show my studio with an extra deep chair rail along the entire perimeter of the room, which allows me to display some of my artwork. The last photo is of my art storage room, where I have temporarily set up an easel to work on my next painting. I plan on setting up a larger easel in my studio in the future and paint portraits from life. I also plan on hosting an open studio in the near future.
