"naturals" from Sage





Here is a new series I have started called..... "naturals" I decided to combine my art and my love of organic material and recycling. These are hanging, natural primed canvases, hand-sewed with twine and painted in a mixed media with a minimum pallete. All will be themed around nature... plants, fruits, etc. And there will be lots more to come!

"Orange" and "Organic"

They are both for sale for $125 and are located at envy salon, Revolution Mills Studios in Greensboro.

My latest project, a new restaurant, Joesphine's Bistro and Bar, for my friends Sarah Keith and Chris Blackburn. This new bistro and bar will be open Spring 2010 (May) and will be a great addition to the Lindley Park neighborhood restaurant scene. It is located at 2416 Spring Garden St (near Fat Dog's). Sarah and Chris also own and manage the Lindley Park Filling Station on the corner of Elam and Walker (I did that sign too).
And what I love about Sarah and Chris is that they always hire the "Artist" , the little guys, .... me, to do projects for them. And I sincerely THANK THEM for that!
The SIGN.... a fairly basic design...they came to me with an idea and I translated. The hardest part about the sign was the installation and final painting. I rented a Scissor Lift (my first time for this) and was 25 ft in the air, cold and windy, trying to paint. Challenging. But all went well and the sign is complete with a few adjustments...the bottom sign will be taken down for the new patio dining area. It should be really cool...I can't wait to eat under my sign:)

Amazing Grace




The Salvation Army Select Store!!! This is a mural I painted (with a palette knife) to tell the story/history of the Salvation Army from past to present. I was commissioned by students from UNC-G Interior/Architecture Program to create something fun, abstract, but yet historical and meaningful to help this store be more hip and current.
If you haven't already checked it out (yeah the mural too) YOU TOTALLY NEED TO GO! The clothes are amazing and for an great price! They hand pick the "best of the best" from all the donation centers for this store...Lake Jeanette Station, 3610 North Elm St, Greensboro NC (north of Pisagh Church Rd)
