“Disrupted Realism isn’t a single style, but rather a gathering of individual styles. The best attempts of talented artists to find poetry, humanity, and meaning in the events of their lives are represented in these works. The paintings contained in this book- when viewed with an open heart and open mind- will provide you with powerful realizations about modern life and also some space to dream in.” - John Seed

Essay by Christopher Benson

Painter and writer Christopher Benson stopped by the studio a few months ago, and though we didn’t have much time, it was great to continue our online conversations in person.

As a painter it is a wonderful experience to have a viewer as thoughtful, informed, and articulate as Chris is, much less writing about it. He also discusses the work of fellow ‘painter’s painter’ Jennifer Pochinski. A lovely essay, and the 4th in a series about contemporary painters. Appreciate the perspective!

"Garland of Hours" Solo show at Shasta College, March 2019

I’m so pleased to announce a solo exhibition of works from my ongoing series, “Garland of Hours”, at the beautiful galleries of Shasta College, in Redding, CA. This series of figure paintings started around 15 years ago, as I looked at photos of my grandparents in their youth. Painting from both my own family’s photos, and those that I have found, in antique stores, estate sales, or just on the street or train tracks… These paintings are a meditation, in visual form, on universal themes: love and loss, presence and absence, remembering and forgetting, youth and maturity, and above all, the temporary and transitory nature of our lives. There will be an opening reception and I will also be giving a lecture/slide talk about the work. Big thanks to Andrew Walker Patterson for making this happen. More details as the time gets closer.

Interview with Painting Perceptions

I recently sat down for an email conversation with Larry Groff of the wonderful website Painting Perceptions. We covered a lot of ground, and just like studio visits, I most enjoy conversations with other painters…We covered a lot of ground, including my recent residency in Mineral, Washington this summer, which i keep hoping I will find time to write about here. Alas, I’m too busy following up in the the studio on inspiration from that trip, but I’ll get to it. Anyway, the site has been a great source of inspiration for me for many years, and has made me aware of so much wonderful painting…i can’t recommend it strongly enough and I’m really honored to be featured.
