High Museum Art Partners Visit!  Rescheduled!!

They love art, they exist in a world of art.  Art Partners, the elite volunteer division of the High Museum, is tasked with reaching out to the Atlanta art community and opening doors for their members that would otherwise be off-limits.  I'm talking about access, about private viewings, tours, and lectures.  Private collections, private museum tours, and most importantly.....visits to artists' studios.  

On October 17th I have the honor of welcoming Art Partners into my world.  A world steaming with sawdust, aromatic woods, crazy joinery, unfinished projects, experiments, commissions.... I plan to reveal my collection of original works of art, including sculpture and 2-D color and texture studies.  Additionally several clients have agreed to loan some pieces for the show.  These plus new studio pieces promise to make for a diverse collection of original work.

Aside from displaying my work and sharing my workshop, I will be discussing the creative process with my guests. How projects are realized from concept to completion, models, material interpretation, etc.  This ties in closely with the other topic I wish to share..how unrelated creative fields and topics can influence my work and aesthetic.

Art Partners is running this show.  Members and non-members of Art Partners are welcome to attend, though; there is a charge for access.  I am merely the talent, and not the host.  Please contact Art Partners for more information regarding dates, time, and fees.  Support local arts and crafts.  

$12 members

$20 non-members

Epic project about to be unveiled!

I have been commissioned to design, fabricate, and install very modern sliding door in a Japanese aesthetic.  The install is incredibly challenging and includes reworking a slate floor, a wood floor, veneer paneling....not to mention a floor to ceiling sliding door with minimalist hardware.  The challenge of modern design is that there is little room for error.  Look for images of this project in mid August!
