Upcoming Events
"Yosemite Renaissance 38"
Yosemite Renaissance was founded in 1985 to "motivate artists to develop diverse interpretations of Yosemite and its varied landscapes" and I'm pleased to have my image, "Impending Storm, Mono Lake" juried into this annual exhibition featuring artworks of all mediums, which travels to art centers across California throughout the year.
Opening reception at Yosemite Gateway Art Center in Oakhurst, California on March 18th, 2023, 5 - 8PM PST

"A Natural Harmony" at Arthouse on R
Arthouse is a unique art gallery space in midtown Sacramento and I'm pleased to have a joint exhibition with nationally acclaimed plein-art painter, Kathleen Dunphy.
The images included in “A Natural Harmony” exhibit seek to look beyond the grand landscape to convey magical moments of ephemeral light and the tiniest details of natural repetition that could easily be overlooked, whether it’s the capture of sensual curves and reflected colors of the dynamic forms of water, rock and sand, or thoughtful observations of the beautiful wild plants and flowers at our feet. A lens of deep empathy and inspiration compel me to seek out and capture beauty and order with a tremendous sense of gratitude for the natural world in my heart.
Opening reception at Arthouse on R on April 8th, 2023, 4PM - 7PM PST

"Essential Elements: Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire" at Viewpoint Photographic Art Center
Through the ages, the ancient Greeks and other cultures believed that the material world was comprised of four essential elements: earth, water, wind, and fire. This year, those four essential elements will serve as the theme for Sacramento's annual Open Juried Exhibit celebrating Photography Month in April, and I'm pleased to have my image, "Aerial View of Firefall Phenomenon, 2022" included in this group exhibit.
Opening reception at Viewpoint Photographic Art Center on April 8th, 2023, 4PM - 7PM PST.
