On Location in Malibu

 Thrilled that “Evening at Duke’s “ has been selected for the 9th “On Location in Malibu” presented by the California Art Club at the Frederick R. Weisman Museum at Pepperdine University. This exhibition in Malibu is held every 3 years at the Museum, and displays several larger works as the museum itself is an expansive space. Exhibition opens May 11 with an artists’ reception, and shows through July 28th. Congratulations to all the exhibiting artists, and to CAC for organizing .

Lunar Codex to launch with “Flyover Canyons of Mars”

 

It’s exciting that my painting “Flyover Canyons of Mars” has been curated in a lunar capsule as part of the Lunar Codex project. Congrats to all my fellow CAC artists who are part of this historic exhibition. 

Codex Nova - scheduled to launch February 14th via the @spacex Falcon 9 and expected to land on the lunar south pole February 21 along with Galactic Legacy Labs and the @nasa CLPS TO2-IM Lander. The launch will be livestreamed via NASA Launch Watch.

The second capsule - Codex Polaris - with my art will launch in November 2024.

“Flyover Canyons of Mars” was inspired by thinking of how the dust in the Martian atmosphere would lend itself to beautiful hazy light effects that are the perfect subject matter for watercolor.
