Research Summary

Primary creative research: paintings on panel, most adapted from my travel sketchbooks. (Their pages can be read as directing my more formal studio efforts, the paintings.) My next solo show, "Elsewhere", opens March, 2022 at Phillips Gallery in Salt Lake City. Once travel restrictions are lifted, I will turn my attention to a new body of work, a series of paintings and a book in response to the Romanesque art of Spain. This project has been funded by the University Research Committee.

Ongoing collaboration

Now that the letterpress edition "Stranger and Stranger" has been resolved by Red Butte Press, Katharine Coles and I will begin to discuss ideas for a next project. Southern Utah University Museum had planned to feature our collaborative work in a Fall, 2020 show, but that exhibition has been postponed due to the COVID crisis.
