Have you been to the Museum of Northwest Art? If you haven’t you should. It is located in La Conner, WA just a short drive north of Seattle. The wonderful curator, Kathleen Moles has been mounting some very interesting shows so do yourself a favor and check it out. This looks especially tasty: RESONANCES: CONTEMPORARY ECHOES [...]

Stephen is on vacation (well deserved) and I’m sitting the gallery for him today. I get to spend time with Adam’s exceptional photos. From the press release: Adam Satushek pays close attention to the ways that human beings influence their surroundings through the traces that are left behind and the impact on the landscape from [...]

In January Rebecca and I got to visit briefly with Marc Dombrosky and Shannon Eakins at Marc’s show at Platform. My post about “Neverland” here. They have relocated to Las Vegas while Shannon pursues her MFA. We miss them. Marc recently sent me a gift of one of his lovely embroidered pieces. Thanks Marc! I [...]

Michael Schall at Platform. Makes you want to put down your pencil, this guy is that good. Not just little drawings, either. Case in point: The detail is crazy, plus he gets some serious shadow: Then, when you are finished with THAT pile of rigor and dedication, check out Dan Webb’s show at Greg Kucera [...]

Here’s one of the 5 x 7″ pieces from my Telephone Room show. You can find 8 more on my Small Work 2009 page.

And other things. Before and [...]

We miss ‘em and look forward to catching up tomorrow night. There are many other good shows including Yuki Nakamura and Gretchen Bennett at [...]

Literally. From the archives. Back in the day. First time in a curated show – at COCA in Belltown. Got mentioned in a review. I was so excited.

Well, not really but something IN Seattle did take my mind back to Montreal. Rebecca and I visited Montreal back in 2005.  We visited the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal and were wowed by L’Envers des apparences or The Wrong Side of Appearances. I had seen Tim Lee’s work in Seattle before, and soon after [...]
