From the artist:
A Progress Report will mark my first time showcasing both my collage and canvas works in the city of Portland and my first trip to Oregon. Since initially booking the show I have been selectively working on pieces that would reflect both my larger painting as well as my mix media style.

The venue is not your typical gallery setting, it's a Lounge serving the community with various well drinks, ales and a variety of music throughout the week and is actually a nice change of pace right now. I realized I may have an opportunity here to display my works in an environment set in a more casual tone. Works may be viewed  in a space where the art can be secondary, yet still provoke curiosity and interest from its patrons.

On display will be 11 mix media works on wood ranging in mid size square to rectangular shaped pieces. All of these works contain my signature collage and multi print techniques as well as my technical painting and aging aesthetics. Found wood and imagery make up a large percentage of these works, all finished off with a mahogany stained trim to tie in all of the works. Natural earth tones are prominent in each of the pieces including hints of blues and burnt reds, giving into a glimpse of my transitioning palette.

On top of these wood pieces I will be including seven large, raw & unstretched canvases in the show. Five painted within these last few months and two painted earlier in the year. There is a slight difference in my larger works to my smaller wood panels. The fact is that larger works are painted on a vertical wall surface and are more physically challenging to produce, so a looser, wispy style comes into play. Again, my works deals strongly with shape and structure, layering and form, and my canvas work really gives me a chance to let loose with color and strokes.

Im very excited about this exhibition and I appreciate the support and interest.
