Iterations
July 11th-July 27th, 2025

Iterations explores how ceramic surfaces are created by the material properties of the medium and the processes of mark-making. The work here iterates through a wide range of mark-making techniques: incising lines and shapes into wet clay; painting and drawing with different tools and brushes; building up dimensional surfaces with slip and glaze; and creating color and texture with slip, glaze, underglaze, metal oxides, and ceramic stains.

In the studio, I am constantly asking myself "what if…?" The tiles, panels, and vessels here invite comparisons and contrasts between the results of these experiments.

Intimate Expressions
July 11th-July 27th, 2025

For 15 years I have attended the Gay Men’s Figure Drawing Group, conducted by artist Tyler Alpern at his log cabin home above Boulder. We meet once or twice a month and draw figures from life. I usually concentrate on doing portraits. The initial drawings are done in Conte crayon on large sketch paper from twenty-minute poses. I then transfer my favorites to canvas and paint them in oils.

Intimate Expressions comprises thirteen of these paintings and eleven of the original drawings.

Pattern
A Next Gallery Members Show
June 20th - July 27th, 2025

In these works, NEXT gallery members explore rhythm and repetition, using pattern as both a visual device and a conceptual framework. Through layering, symmetry, and disruption, we investigate how patterns shape perception and memory. These pieces reflect on the tension between order and chaos, inviting viewers to consider what lies beneath the surface of repetition.
