In June, at the annual symposium of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW) in San José, I will be featured as one of four “emerging artists,” which means I will be doing a demonstration focused on my work and will have a few extra pieces in the instant gallery. In addition, I will be presenting my narrated slide show, “Beyond Beauty: Inspiration and Expression,” and will be part of a panel on “Redefining Symposiums.” I will also have a piece in the invitational exhibition “Beyond Containment” on display during the symposium. (I was so excited by the theme that I adopted it as the theme for my show at the JCC.) For those of you who are going, my “emerging artist” presentation will be Friday from 12:30 to 2 p.m. next to the instant gallery. “Beyond Beauty” is on Saturday at 8 a.m., and the “Redefining Symposiums” panel is at 1:30 p.m., also on Saturday.
I have a full range of work on display at Flux Gallery. Flux Gallery is a collective effort with fellow artists Peter Eisner, Lee Roy Beach, Sheryl Holland, and Dragana Skrepnik, located in Tucson at Plaza Palomino, at the southeast corner of Swan and Fort Lowell Roads. Flux recently moved to Suite 114, on Swan Road, at the southwest corner of the plaza, down from Luna Bella. (It used to be in the suite across from Dark Star Leather.) Flux is currently closed while we renovate the space, but is normally open Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. (Plaza Palomino has its farmers’ market on Saturdays.)
Between shows, check out my blog and my Google Profile or visit with me on Facebook. You don’t have to be a member to view my public Facebook page. If you are a member, become a fan! (Be forewarned, though: I’m at best a sporadic updater, so please be patient.)
In old news, last August 12, the Arizona Daily Star featured a story on me; read it here. Reporter Patty Machelor interviewed me and spoke to a few of my collectors for the story, and photographer Benny Sanders took some shots of me in my studio (be sure to click on the Image tag above the story).

My work-for-sale pages are sadly out of date, so I have taken them down for now. I am hard at work in my studio making new vessels and will update my site when I can devote the time to it. I am considering sharing new work via newsletter instead of through the work-for-sale pages. Please be patient with me in the meantime.
Until my next show (see “News,” above), feel free to contact me at any time to arrange for a private showing of work, at my studio or in your home. In addition, I continuously have pieces for sale at Flux Gallery (in Plaza Palomino, at the southeast corner of Swan and Fort Lowell Rd. in Tucson).
I can also share my work long-distance, via webcam. All you need is a relatively fast Internet connection and an instant messaging service such as Windows Live Messenger, AIM, or Skype. You do not need a webcam yourself. Email me and we’ll set up a session!
If you belong to a group that would enjoy a visit to my studio for a deeper understanding of my work, please contact me to set up a date. Last year, I hosted two groups at my studio: the docents of the Tucson Museum of Art and a Brandeis alumni art study group (though, because of our record-setting rain last November, I actually ended up doing most of my presentation for the latter group at the nearby Mimi’s Cafe!).
