Naked Ladies/Naked Pots

"Cup Cakes"

Here are two new paintings for upcoming show at ARTelements Gallery in Newberg, Oregon.
Opens February 21, closes March 16

"Anomalies" is an exhibition of pots and paintings. It will be on view at the Linfield Art Gallery from Jan 3 to Jan 27, 2012

The pots have anomalous creatures created with gestural emphasis to accentuate their presence. The pots and paintings express my attempt to explore the nature of play in making things authentically and creatively.
