It's almost here!! Been a long time since I've had an opening reception and I'm so thankful for the opportunity to both show these works in such a beautiful space. University Wine Company is an awesome establishment and I can't wait to sip some wine and talk art :-)

To anyone reading this whole post, thank you. But also, please leave a comment or share this to your story! I'm hoping to raise money for an upcoming move and any extra eyes I can get on this ad would really help out. Many thanks ❤️

Sneak peek of my exhibition at University Wine Company

Opening reception is March 10th from 6-8pm! If you're interested in purchasing an original painting from my series of local landscapes, this is the very best time. All works are marked down to help raise money for my upcoming move. (Made possible by the generous management at UWC taking zero commission on sales! They rock!!!)

There will be light refreshments provided as well as a free glass of wine on me! Gotta get there early for that though :-)

Works will be on display through the rest of the month

Fresh off the easel. (Commissioned work)

Pictured is a friend's father who passed back in 2018. Haven't done many landscape/portrait combos and this was a real joy to paint :-)

One of my favorite plein air paintings of all time. Painted from life at @rhoneymeade for "Monet's Picnic", a fundraiser supporting the @bellefonteartmuseum. Still wet, this work was immediately entered in a raffle so I really only had a moment with the finished piece itself. It was a hilariously awful day to paint (so cold, windy, and raining) but full of friendly faces and to this day a really fond memory.

Monet's Picnic. 11" x 14", Oil on Panel.

Night by Night (2 page spread). "8 x 6"

Acrylic monotype on paper. Another print from my series documenting experiences in the beginning of the pandemic. Still really pleased with the glow of the night sky & how the thicker brush strokes left behind abstract patterns (specifically in the upper edges)

"One Year Ago Today" (2018)
Acrylic on canvas, 36" x 48" More below...

Just recently took fresh photos of this one for my portfolio and figured it would be a good time to repost as well. Some explanation on the composition: This scene is composed of two photos taken exactly one year apart. The foreground shows me in my apartment at the time all worn out from finals, hanging with my cat(s). The background is painted from a photo of Rob Grote drumming at a house show in Philly as a part of the Straw Hats. I found the latter photo through my "memories" on Google Photos and felt compelled to put it with the shots I had just taken. At the time this was thrown together just to make a composition but I now see it as a much more reflective piece.

High Street (Summer, 2021). Oil on canvas and painted exclusively from life.

If you've been following my work, you may recognize this composition from the first version of "High Street" I painted over the course of 13 days in Fall of 2020. At the time, that was the most sessions I'd ever put into a plein air painting. Now I've got a new record! To complete this work I returned to the same location, during the same window of time (for a consistent quality of light) for over 17 days. A labor of love :-P

If you like this painting, consider buying a print from my Etsy page! Link:
