California Cool, my first international solo exhibit, will be opening up in just over two weeks at La Fiambrera Gallery in Madrid, Spain. This series of paintings, drawings, and prints aims to bring some touchstones of midcentury California style - architecture, design, car culture - to Europe. From Los Angeles's iconic Theme Building to the Butterfly Roof tract homes of Palm Springs, this exhibit will showcase how the West Coast developed not just a signature aesthetic, but a culture of "cool."
Stay tuned for an exclusive preview of the show and be sure to follow me on Instagram and "like" my Facebook page for behind-the-scenes photos and videos of how the exhibit is coming together.
Opening reception: Friday, April 27th, 2018
Artist Talk: Saturday, April 28th

I was just cruising through a tract of beautiful Eichler homes the other day - the Balboa Highlands located in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley. Built by developer Joseph Eichler between 1962-64, these striking homes were an attempt to bring Modernism to the masses. I grew up not too far from this tract, so over the years, I've been able to see the neighborhood come back and really be revitalized. I did this painting back in 2008, but like the home itself, I "freshened it up" a year ago. Still available, please contact me about "Eichler Carport Interior 2," oil on canvas, 36x48."
A big THANK YOU to everyone who made it out to the Art Palm Springs art fair last week and especially to those who attended my artist talk and print signing. It always means so much to me having people's support and seeing all the smiling faces. For those who weren't able to attend, there are still a few more of the "Twin Palms Evening" prints availbel for purchase through the George Billis Gallery - la@georgebillis.com.
This Saturday, February 10th 6-10pm, I'll be participating in the Laguna Art Museum's "California Cool" Art Auction - an evening not to be missed! With works by over 100 important California artists, the annual Art Auction will include great art at great prices, delicious cuisine, and creative cocktails. I'm proud to have my painting "Swiss Miss and Mountains," oil on canvas, 30x22," prominently featured. Buy your tickets today before they sell out. And be sure to stop by and preview the work all week long leading up to the big event.
