Interview on Ahtcast podcast

March 10, 2021

It was a pleasure to talk with Phillip J. Mellen on his interview podcast Ahtcast. Philip has a really nice, easy-going interview style that’s informed by great enthusiasm, openness and sensitivity to painting. And his archive of artist interviews is deep. Check it out!

Ahtcast podcasts are also available on Stitcher, Spotify, and Apple podcasts if you prefer to listen on those platforms.

Studio Sale through November 15

November 4, 2020

I regularly use my work to benefit other people and causes. I want to ramp that up right now.

From now through November 15, I will give 50% of all studio sales to groups working for peace and social justice. I want to make this impactful and accessible. There’s a lot available.

the studio sale has closed

Here is a list of who I have supported so far.  Funds from this sale will further lend support to these or groups like them. At the end of the sale, I will provide buyers an account of all the groups funded.

If you want to personally donate half of the purchase price to a particular group (i.e. for your tax purposes, or to a group you prefer), get in touch and we’ll work it out.

Let’s work together towards positive and lasting change.
