First Ever CazaLuna Gallery Stroll was a Success

I want to thank everyone who came to my first ever gallery stroll event at my studio at CazaLuna.

Dozens of people came over to talk about art, delve into some of my original works, purchase posters, and just hang with other friends and art lovers. I’m grateful for the continued interest, support, and encourangement. It was really fun to have people ask about my work, really wanting to understand the deeper meaning in the images. It would be easy for me to talk for hours about each piece, and there were many long and interesting conversations between friends in front of my art. Very fun! I also discovered new ideas, correlations, details, and reactions to my artwork–things I had never considered before.

It is truly amazing that I can create some art and then, months later see something brand new in it. To me, that confirms that I’m only a channeler and that what I’m doing is being given to me by something outside me.

I started a new piece the next day, which will be my expression of the Sri Yantra. Look for a post in the coming days about the symbol, vibration and sound, and what I’ve been discoving about the nature in which the universe was created.

Aspen Moon Live Painting at Sustainable Arts Festival

I really love summer festival season!  And to start it off, I have two solid weeks of festivals where I’ll be vending and painting.  I’ll be from Utah, to California, to Oregon, to Colorado and back before the summer is over…

I’m excited for my first live painting event of the season at the Building Man Sustainable Living Arts and Music Festival this weekend in Green River, Utah.  I’m flattered and grateful for the invitation to come participate in a really cool art project.  I mean…seriously?  I get to hang out in the redrock blue sky desert, listen to great music for days, hang with amazingly vivid and talented people, and paint anything I want on a giant wall?  Way too cool for words!

The art project is going to be a 7-foot cube which will be painted on 4 sides and I will be painting one of the sides.  The other artists (all from Salt Lake City) are Spencer Barton, Peter Nielson, Rebecca Gilette and Dave Gilette.  I’m planning on doing a Native American inspired sun mandala in the oranges, yellows, and reds of the redrock desert landscape around Green River and the San Rafael Swell.  I wanted to create something that sits well on the land where the painting will be for the first part of the summer and to also pull in and amplify some of the local spiritual energy that flows around and through this beautiful desert retreat called the ‘Jenkstar Ranch.’

I’m a little nervous about whether I’ll be able to complete it in just three days–a 7×7 foot square is a very large surface to cover!  But it sounds like a great (and very fun) challenge!  I’ll post a few photos of the process after I’m back from LIB in a couple weeks.
