Sonnet in Copper and Verdigris

My newest commissioned piece is now in its rightful place, the home of the collector who commissioned it. Here it is.

Acrylic, ink, and latex paint on mixed media
24" x 20"
2015



I worked closely with my client to come up with a color palette that would compliment what she already had in her living room as well as incorporate her favorite colors. The color scheme is striking because it uses complimentary colors. As always, I enjoyed making this commissioned piece and look forward to making another one soon.

Pictures from the 2015 SOFA Expo

I really enjoyed seeing the art on display at the SOFA Expo this year. In addition to work by artists I'm familiar with, I also so pieces by some new favorites. I tried to include the artists' names whenever possible, but sometimes I missed them.

I found a few artists whose work reminds me of my own. Somehow I feel vindicated. By the way, some of these pieces cost as much as $18,000. Makes my prices seem reasonable, doesn't it?

One artist I discovered through SOFA is Erin Currier. I love the way she renders people's faces. Their brown skin is so luminous and their eyes sparkle.

I'm so glad I went to SOFA and look forward to seeing next year's show.
