Swim coach Bob Bowman, who trained Olympic gold metal winner Michael Phelps, did an article for the At Home section of the Baltimore Sun on June 17th. The photograph featured with the article is of my painting ‘Sample 136 in Green’ hanging on the wall!

Here is the article where they interviewed him on the Baltimore Sun’s website. http://www.baltimoresun.com/features/home-garden/bs-hm-bowman-sidebar-20100618,0,1553403.story

Since the article seems to have been detached from the photo, here is a link to the At Home archive which shows the picture with my painting as a thumbnail image.

I just had the pleasant experience of taking a trip to North Carolina where some old clients and dear friends purchased several of my paintings…See “ARTSTAR 1″ featured in the master bedroom of this sharply designed house…these guys are amazing btw they have 3 off site storage units full of cutting edge furnishings and they actually “rotate stock” and dress different rooms in their house seasonally. Neither work “in the trade”, but they should. Needless to say Its a huge honor to have my work as a staple element in such a thoughtfully considered environment. Enjoy!

“RITA1″ oil,latex,spraypaint on canvas

named after the famous Baltimore designer Rita Saint Clair from a piece of leftover wallpaper given to me by the paperhanger on a Rita job years ago…i hand cut the stencil and gave it an ARTSTAR twist of explosive color and the result is a painting to nod at…
this piece was purchased by Laura Asmussen the curator for the Goucher Gallery at Towson Universitys Goucher College and may even land me a part in a group show there later this year…

Distressed white washed brick and painted lady cornice

while i still want to add some additonal accents its doubtful i will get around to it anytime soon…i really love this building and the owners who are my friends and allowed me to showcase my creative energy in the production of this new upscale salon.I completely white washed the entire outside of this building using exterior house paint from Ben Moore and a high quality glazing mixture,after basecoating it red first…then all the accents…

Faux Wood Grain for Simple Elegance

The Artstar — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 22:48:56 +0000

I recently completed a faux painting project for some new friends in Glen Arm, Maryand, the Kropfts!

To crate a warmer and more upscale ambiance in their den, I applied a latex and oil finish to the firewood storage area. Additional embellishment was added by the faux wood-grained shelf. The existing structure was lacking in depth and dimension, but after a simple but sweet overhaul, it’s looking great!
