  OC Folks! You are invited to an artist talk at the marvelous group exhibition "Love Is All You Need" at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art on Saturday, March 7, 2026 at 6:00 pm. I will be chatting about my painting "Pirates" Gallery open until 10:00 pm. Curator William Moreno Gregg Chadwick Pirates 24"x18" oil on paper 2025 Notes on “Pirates” In my oil on blue prepared paper painting "Pirates", it is April in Paris. At a café in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a couple lock eyes in a knowing glance like pirates preparing a raid. Co-conspirators in the game of love. In "Pirates" I have created a surface where "ghosts of earlier ideas" remain which invites the viewer into a non-linear experience of time. In the wake of the 2025 fires, "Pirates" offers a narrative of resilience, community, and the enduring power of love—agape, familiar, and platonic—reminding the viewer that "art is a beautiful and necessary ...

  The Word is Out! @wallpapermag  ,  @diversionslablog  , and  @whitehotmagazine  agree that my oil on linen painting "Arrivals and Departures" is a must see during Frieze Week in Los Angeles. Our group exhibition "Under One Roof" was masterfully curated by  @peterfrankonart  and skillfully put together by  @studios_3026  working with  @cars.la .

From @springsteen : I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free, Bruce Springsteen Lyrics: Through the winter’s ice and cold Down Nicollet Avenue A city aflame fought fire and ice ‘Neath an occupier’s boots King Trump’s private army from the DHS Guns belted to their coats Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law Or so their story goes Against smoke and rubber bullets By the dawn’s early light Citizens stood for justice Their voices ringing through the night And there were bloody footprints Where mercy should have stood And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets Alex Pretti and Renee Good Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice Singing through the bloody mist We’ll take our stand for this land And the stranger in our midst Here in our home t...
