I’ll be representing myself this weekend for the glory at the Washington Pavilion in Sioux Falls for ‘Arts Night 2012′, as I’ve donated the live auction proceeds from this stunning original from ‘Dakota Requiem’, as did about 80 other artists, to benefit their Visual Arts Center.

My good friend, Sioux Falls printmaker Chad Nelson, earned ‘Artists Choice’ for the following piece, which I’m fortunate to own a print as well, well done Chad!

Fresh Abstractions…

I’ve been working on a few new directions as of late, looking for something to bridge a few gaps, and fill a few steps in…these measure just 4 inches each, mixed-media on canvas, and will be available in the coming weeks ahead…Enjoy!

A few friends…

Both of these pieces, and a few other surprises, will be available this Saturday in Luverne at HGS Gallery, located on Main Street, from 10-4pm. I’ll be working on some fresh watercolors, along with several other artist friends, including Chad Nelson, who will be creating a special edition mezzotint throughout the day, and then later joining me back in Madison for a special Double Header, quite the day for sure!

Reception scheduled for ‘Wounded Knee’ showing…

Direct from The Center for Western Studies:

The reception for artists in the Interpretations of Wounded Knee 1973 and 1890 art exhibition will be on Thursday, April 26, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. All artists in the show will be recognized. The reception kicks-off the annual Dakota Conference, which begins April 27th. The event is free and open to the public.

I’ll be there for sure, and then for the first day of the Dakota Conference as well, I’m really looking forward to the event, and glad to be a small part of this historical moment too.

Now in Paperback…

From Sioux Falls Woman Magazine…

Another great piece, thanks to Thea Miller Ryan, MJ Knobe, and everyone from SFWM, its an honor for sure!

Art of the Hills revealed…

I recently had the honor of writing a small feature for the most recent edition of ‘Art of the Hills’, a great regional fine arts based magazine from Hill City, South Dakota. An annual, this edition focuses on the ‘Emerging Artist’, and portrays, questions, and otherwise throws a wrench into any preconceived notion of what that means, and who that is, just a great concept for another quality read.

And here’s the opening intro, for more, follow along to the online edition, and enjoy!

Luverne Spring Art Show…

Looks like Luverne is hosting a ‘Spring Art Show’ on April 21st from 10-4pm. HGS Gallery, Deuschle Studios, Brandenburg Gallery, Carnegie Cultural Center, Reborn, and Myhre Studio are hosting the event. My own home of HGS Gallery will have several artist demonstrations, including myself, and one of my favorites, artist Chad Nelson, will be creating a special edition print just for the event.

Away from home…
