My annual art sale is finally live!
I only run one of these per year, and have a sale running in Jonathan's store too.
For my sale, I've also included some older prints at clearance prices-- this will probably be the last time I have those ones available, since I don't really display them at shows any more, and thus have no real way to find homes for the rest of them. You can find these about halfway down the store page.

I do not get that choice.
The people my paintings are primarily about do not get that choice.

The last time I did a life update post, I spoke about my partner and I's decision to move to Santa Fe and the most immediate tasks on that horizon. Since then, we got through the long five weeks apart and the emotional struggles associated with that, and plenty more since then.
Read MoreSince my body of work is so tied to my personal experiences, I figure it makes sense to give an overview of things every now and then, as these days my life seems to happen more quickly than I can easily keep track of.
