I am happy to share that I am included in Artists of the Bay Area, Vol. 2, a two volume book set curated by Jen Tough (Jen Tough Gallery) that features "the best contemporary artists living in and around the Bay Area of California."    The above before and after photos were taken in April of 2020 (left) and December of 2021 (right) and mark the challenge of completing the largest and most complex work in my I Believe in Ghosts series to date.  Detail of "Minds Pass Minds If They Be Occupied," oil on linen, 50 x 68 inches (127 x 173 cm), 2021.  I'm ecstatic to be featured as an 'artist to watch' in issue n°03 of Vast Art Magazine. It's a great spread featuring 45 artists and exhibitions at Gallery Vacancy in Shanghai, China, Swallow in Vilnius, Lithuania, King's Leap in New York City, Present Projects in Hong Kong, and Britta Rettberg in Munich, Germany. You can get your copy here.   Artworks by: Jamie L. Luoto, Lib Mason, and Bing Zhang I am pleased to share that We Hunt the Doe was awarded first place in the All About Women virtual exhibition organized by the Marin Society of Artists. All About Women is a nationally juried virtual exhibition featuring work about women by 84 artists from 22 states. The collection of work was juried by Josh Otten and Josh Paquette of J. Willott Gallery in Palm Springs, California. The collection of works are viewable in an alphabetical slideshow here or you can peruse still images here. Exhibiting Artists  This week I bid farewell to 'We Hunt the Doe' as she embarks on her journey with Atelier 4 to Washington D.C. to the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery for the final round of judging in the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition 2022. The finalists will be announced publicly in spring and exhibit in Outwin 2022: American Portraiture Today, followed by a national tour. A big thank you to both the National Portrait Gallery, Atelier 4, and Kevin and Angel of Atelier 4, for exceptional experiences working together :-)

"Title TBD," oil on linen, 34 x 28 inches (86 x 71 cm). Here I've compiled detail photos of the head in "We Hunt the Doe" in order to show a glimpse into my process. The images progress from the development of the black and white "dead layer" through various color glazes to get to the final result.    |
 I created this space to showcase my past work, chronicle my current projects, and share my inspiration.
