I cofounded an artist gallery cooperative in the small rural community of Marysville where I live during the pandemic and we launched our first official gallery exhibition called Wall Hangings on May 25, 2021. The gallery is located at 414 4th Street, in the same building where I have my studio and produce art installations in the storefront windows as Painting & Sculpture Outpost.

Working with local artist Sarah Cabigas and the building owner and founder of The Artist Nook, Kelly Richcreek, we hope to use our efforts in the arts to contribute to building better for art and artists in our community.

Follow along on the journey!

I've started a mail blog journaL during the pandemic to archive some of my studio and life efforts that are often more quietly folded into finished artwork. This is intended to provide additional insight for folks interested in my work and process. It is mailed out in a limited edition to subscribers and the current volume is available online here as a pdf.

I applied for a grant in collaboration with our fiscal sponsor Yuba Sutter Arts last year and we got it!

We officially launched the Painting and Sculpture Outpost Art Mentorship program this week. (The program logo was inspired by the UN logo, designed by Joe Lloyd) Any artists, aged 16 and up living in Yuba and Sutter counties in California are eligible to apply. More information about the program is on our website. To apply, simply fill out your online application before July 10th.
