About this listen

Be careful what you wish for. That's an old threat that actually has a great deal of meaning to me. I have recently been selected for a 28 day artist residency program at Art145 in Superior Arizona. If you would like to help, I'm running a GoFundMe campaign to help raise funds for the residency.

I have been so humbled by the support people are willing to give. I have had a slew of friends and collectors who have chipped in, as well as a partial grant given by the International Association of Artists. Obviously Maya Barton at Art145 has been amazing, and even Jennifer Luria at www.dogcatmousemedia.com, who gave me permission to use the stunning photos of Superior and the surrounding desert. It may take a village to support an artist, but I've been blessed beyond my wildest expectations.

So I'm off to Arizona to create the next 20 paintings for my Panca Marga series that I will launch in the Fall, and I have no idea yet what those paintings will be. But it is that very angst, that mixture of fear and excitement that gives energy to my artistic practice. I can't wait, and I'll take you along on the adventure. Stay tuned.

Ten cuidado con lo que deseas. Esa es una vieja advertencia que en realidad tiene un gran significado para mí. Recientemente he sido seleccionado para un programa de residencia artística de 28 días en Art145, en Superior, Arizona. Si deseas ayudar, estoy realizando una campaña en GoFundMe para recaudar fondos que apoyen esta residencia.

Me siento profundamente agradecido por el apoyo que la gente ha estado dispuesta a brindar. Muchos amigos y coleccionistas han contribuido, así como una subvención parcial otorgada por la Asociación Internacional de Artistas. Por supuesto, Maya Barton en Art145 ha sido increíble, e incluso Jennifer Luria de www.dogcatmousemedia.com
me dio permiso para utilizar las impresionantes fotografías de Superior y el desierto circundante. Puede que haga falta todo un pueblo para apoyar a un artista, pero he sido bendecido más allá de mis expectativas más audaces.

Así que me voy a Arizona para crear las próximas 20 pinturas de mi serie Panca Marga, que lanzar é en otoño, y todavía no tengo idea de cómo serán esas obras. Pero es precisamente esa angustia, esa mezcla de miedo y emoción, la que le da energía a mi práctica artística. No puedo esperar, y los llevaré conmigo en esta aventura. Manténganse atentos.
