I’m excited to announce that I’m now sending out a newsletter that will highlight all of my art news and events. I’ll be sending it thru Constant Contact, an e-marketing company that I’ve used for the Belushi Pisano Gallery. It’s a great way to receive updates via email. So, please sign up to receive my newsletter! Enter in your email (see the “subscribe to newsletter” section on the top right side of this site).

As for this blog….it’s still gonna keep on being what it is – only better! I just decided to recreate it. I’m going to take a more casual ‘journal-like’ approach to it. Which means, i’ll be blogging a whole lot more. More about art – and not just mine. More about other happenings — both in and out of my studio. And, more about stuff — all sorts of stuff. I’m excited to share the things that I experience and enjoy on a daily basis; what inspires me as an artist, a wife and a dog-mom. THAT is what a “blog” is all about, right?

 

• S: (n) web log, blog (a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies) “postings on a blog are usually in chronological order”
  

SO, getting to the point…if you want to keep up to date with my art events (and less about what i’m cooking for my next dinner party), then please sign up for the Newsletter!

Thanks for reading!

Come see me at the Paradise City Art Show in Marlborough next weekend! I’ll have new work to view that I’ve been working on over the winter months, and I’m excited to showcase it at the Paradise City show. An award-winning show, Paradise City started in 1995 and is one of the best art fairs to experience. The show is juried and competitive, so all of the artists are hand-selected and exceptional!

I’ll be at booth # 422, and right next to me in booth #424 will be my fiancee Michael Eudenbach. Check out his website at www.michaeleudenbach.com

Hope to see you there!

I’ve been working on a new body of work lately and it’s all about trees. A decade ago I started out shooting landscapes and now I’m back to where I started from. Trees, like flowers, are gorgeous subject matters to paint. They stand with interesting poses and gestures – a language all of their own. I’m very excited to be outside and shooting landscapes again! I’ve got a few shows coming up this year and I’m looking forward to showcasing this new body of work.

The following three pieces are currently being shown at Lark & Key Gallery in Charlotte, NC.

"amber tree," b&w photograph, acrylic and gold leaf.

"two trees," b&w photograph, acrylic and gold leaf.

"gilded branches," b&w photograph, acrylic and gold leaf.

It’s studio season for me (and I’m loving every minute of it)!

Since closing the Belushi Pisano Gallery on the Vineyard for the winter season, I’ve been in my new studio in Newport, RI. It’s been a nice change to be able to paint almost everyday. I’ve been inspired by many things lately, but mostly I’m fixated on working with gold leaf – I’ve been using it now for the last year, but it was  recently that I decided to do a whole series on this material. In my new work, you’ll see gold leaf burnished into the piece as is or I’ll add layers of paint on top of the gold. In addition to using gold leaf, I have also gone back to shooting landscapes for this series. Local landscapes have always inspired me – I’ve been so lucky to live in some of the most beautiful places around the world. So, I’m taking this time to explore new areas of New England – grabbing time during these quiet winter months to discover the little gems of places I’ve never been. In addition to the landscapes, I’m also adding more floral images to this new body of work as well.

Here’s a sneak peak of what you’ll be seeing within my new series!
