Etsy update

February 11th - Marion County. oil and acrylic on canvas. 9 x 12"

An update on my Etsy shop - I will be taking down most paintings from my shop on Sunday, March 27th due to my upcoming exhibition (the one I can't stop talking about!) at the Slingluff Gallery. They will be for sale through the gallery from April 2nd - May 1st, 2011. After that, most of the paintings will move on to Redbrick Gallery in Martinsburg, WV.

Tonight from 7-9 there will be an opening reception held for Gary Lieb's new exhibition at Jim Brooks Gallery at Fairmont State University. Anyone in the area should stop in and check it out, it's a wonderful opportunity to see his work. On display will also be his collaborative ceramic pieces, completed with Jeff Greenham - which I am particularyly interested in seeing.

Lieb's illustrations and cartoons have appeared in The New Yorker, Musician Magazine, The New York Observer, Raw, Blab and as weekly features in The New York Press.

Here is a very nice post with great pics of installation from the Fine Arts Tatler: http://fineartsfsu.wordpress.com/2011/01/25/artist-in-residence-gary-leib-to-exhibit-new-work/

Exhibition Announcement

Last week was a strange but wonderful week. On my first official "painting" day, the first day where I was off from my day job (last Thursday), I received a phone call about an invitation for a solo exhibition at Redbrick Gallery in Martinsburg, WV! I was completely thrilled that:

1. I was able to take that call from the owner (and not have to play phone tag due to the day job hours!) and
2. I was able to accept the invitation for the solo exhibit, because I now have much more time to produce the work.

So I am very happy to announce that after the solo exhibition in April at the Slingluff Gallery, a revised version of that show will be on display May 21st - June 25th at Redbrick Gallery, with an opening reception Saturday, May 21st! I'm already feeling better about this decision...

Upcoming Exhibition

I have a quick update on my exhibition schedule for 2011, although it is short on details! In February, I will be exhibiting in a three person show (yet to be titled) at West Virginia Wesleyan College's Sleeth Gallery. The exact dates are yet to be announced, but I will also be exhibiting with Derek Overfield www.derekoverfield.com. As more information becomes known, I will post another update.
