Here is my most recent work related to the Offerings Project. This is a custom piece I did for someone who saw the road side works and did some research to find me. I don't do a lot of color works but when I do I find that I really like it...However, color would not do well outdoors. The pigment is too fugitive and easily fades.

"Bloom Effect" at the Port Angeles Fine Art Center
This is my latest installtion related to the Adornment Series. I was invited to do another piece to the annual Art Outside Exhibition at the PAFAC. With the help of the Center director, Jake Senuik, we were able to create a piece that expanded my own ideas of an installation. He really made it "involve" an entire area making it much more dramatic. The Art Outside Exhibition is collection of art placed in Websters Woods on the grounds of the Art Center. It opened June 18 and runs through the summer.

Uh oh..."Seeds" is missing....
Well, it looks like another over zealous art enthusiast has taken another Offerings "off the wall"...I noticed yesterday that "Seeds" on Woodinville/Duvall Road has been removed...I guess I am going to have to replace it...

This is the second installation of the Adornment series. I rushed it up to have it ready to include in a grant application that I was submitting. As I have already mentioned, to me it seems contrived and deliberate not inspired and spontaneous. But still, there it is...I already have another installation in the works.... In my mind these art interaction represent a budding sense of art appreciation where there may not have been any before. That is my goal. To expose an unsuspecting audience to art and allow the connection between art and veiwer happen as a unexpected surprise.

This is a custom piece I did for a local supporter who had seen the Offerings installations around and contacted me to do a piece for her. She did not give me much information as to what she wanted but in our conversations I was able to at least get a "thread" of information to develop an idea and a design. It took me a couple months to complete but she insists that she is a satisfied customer.

This is the first installation for the Adornments Series which is an extension of the Offerings To The Wind Project. As an initial study "Pods" serves as an experiment in, 1) creation of the individual elements and 2) development of installation approach. I am not going to reveal it's location at this time...

"In Memory Of A Madrona" Installtion@PAFAC
This is the completed installation at the Port Angeles Fine Art Center for the ART OUTSIDE Exhibition 2010. Eighteen artists were invited to do outdoor installations in Websters Woods on the grounds of the Art Center. It was great to be invited to be part of the "happening" and there were a lot of amazing work created for it. My piece was done on the remnants of a Madrona tree that had been in the court yard of the Center. It mysteriously died and pieces of it were scattered through out the woods. It was a perfect opportunity for a "special edition" of the Offerings Project. My piece was well received and I hope to be a regular at this event.
