 My solo show called Endangered Spaces at the Rockport Art Association opened on March 14, 2010 with a reception from 2 to 4 pm. Endangered Spaces is about locations, buildings, and moments in time that no longer exist or are in danger of extinction. The majority of the work was taken in Cape Ann including the Birdseye Building, Fort Square, the Marine Railways and the Paint Factory. I used a variety of photographic techniques to capture the essence of a place including traditional photography, digital photographic montages, photo books, cut-out three dimensional photographs, and texturized montage collages. See article about the show in the Gloucester Daily Times and the Cape Ann Beacon.

The summer has flown by and all of a sudden it's Fall. The big news for me has been being asked to participate in a small group show with four excellent artists at the Cambridge Art Association. The Show is called "Seeing is Forgetting (the name of the thing that one sees)". Curated by photographer Robert Hesse, the work in the show is all about illusion and things that may appear to be one thing that are actually something else. It features Catherine Evans, a very accomplished mixed media minimal artist; Lorraine Sullivan, a fabulous assemblage artist that you have to come see; Madeleine Lord, a whimsical, creative cut metal sculptress; Bob Hesse, a very creative and talented photographer and moi. The show runs from October 2 to October 30, 2009 at University Place Gallery, 124 Mt. Auburn St. in Harvard Square. The RECEPTION is Thursday, October 8 from 6 to 8 pm.
Here are some photos that Tom took of us hanging the show.

Summer 2009
The Rocky Neck Gallery (Gloucester), Square Circle (Rockport) and Chameleon (Newburyport) have kept me busy all summer. I won a few awards ... the PRC award at the Rockport Art Association for "Golden Waterline" a transparent photo and for "Blue Coupe" an abstract 50s auto. I also got "People's Choice" in mixed media at the Magnolia Library Show for my 3-D photographic construction, "One Way to the Fort." Plus the Topsfield Library asked me to be the "Artist of the Month" in August, so I scrambled to put a show together. The local Topsfield paper wrote a nice article about me. Click here to read it.

It's been a crazy spring .. so much going on that I haven't had time to update my blog. The art season started with the Spring and Summer shows at the Rockport Art Association. One of my new monopoly pieces sold at the Arts and Flowers Show. On May 15 we go the keys to the Rocky Neck Gallery and had only one week to jury all of the new artists and transform the space into something new. We've been getting rave reviews about the art (29 unique and interesting artists) and the space. Come down to 53 Rocky Neck Ave. and see for yourself.
 One of my photos, Family Outing, was accepted in Cambridge Art Association's Northeast Prize. And I just set up a show of Lilliputian Landscapes at Addison Gilbert Hospital. It will be up until the end of June. My favorite is another new one, Soup Divers.
This photo has been selling well at the Square Circle in Rockport. Stop in and visit Myra at 6 Dock Square if you have a chance. Or if you happen to be up in Newburyport, check out Chameleon at 18 Liberty Street. My photo, Locally Grown is going to be auctioned off at the Newburport Art Association's auction on June 20.
One of my new experiments has been with translucent film and window frames. This process works best with some of my water photos. Golden Waterline, at the second summer show at the Rockport Art Association just won an award for Excellence in Photography. You can see these translucent photos at the Rocky Neck Gallery and at the Rockport Art Association. We have a fun show coming up at the Magnolia Library. I plan to show one of my 3-D photo shadowboxes .. One Way to the Fort. The show runs from July 11 to 13.

I've been working on a new collection of photos, mostly taken in downtown Gloucester and some in Boston. They are straight out of the camera with absolutely no manipulation in Photoshop. Take a look and let me know what you think of these

I currently have work in two shows. Stratum at the Cambridge Art Association and the Members Show at the Newburyport Art Association. The photograph on the left is in Stratum .. and it just happens to be called Strata. It's a photograph of reflections on the side of the MIT Strata Center.
 The little people construction on the left is at the Newburyport show. It's designed to be a paperweight. Only 2 1/2 inches square, the bottom is filled with layers of found objects from the beach, like shells and sea glass, interspersed with bits of jewelry and beads. The whole thing is filled with clear epoxy resin, giving it an interesting layered effect. A silver fish from an old earring is coming through the ocean of beads. The tiny fisherman is sitting on a shell with a tiny dog beside him.
