November/December 2019 - As far as exhibitions, I'm happy to be finishing out the year in this cool group show called Art & AIDS: Alegria at the main LeslieLohman Museum space down on Wooster/Grand street! The curators have chosen three portaits I've done recently... it's a show of artists involved with GMHC, and although it's about HIV & AIDS, it focuses on the aspect of "celebrating life" (Alegria). The show is already up and will be on display until Jan. 5, 2020. The opening reception will be next tuesday, 12/3, from 6-8, please come! Click on the image for further info.

February 2019 - Save the date for the 2019 "Postcards From The Edge" Benefit weekend for VISUAL AIDS! As usual I've created a postcard-sized oil painting, as did hundreds of other artists... signed on the back so you have to guess who's is who's. This year it will be at a gallery down in Tribeca called Bortolami. The Preview Party (Friday 2/22, 6-8PM) is always a blast to see all the participants and all the work on the walls - so if you can make it, try to go then. If not, the sales happen the rest of the weekend on Saturday & Sunday... click the image for the website & all the info. Hope to see you there !
