Rhythm Section
2025. Acrylic, charcoal, paper on canvas. 12 x 12 in.

It’s official: I will be Studio #3 for the 24th annual Morongo Basin Open Studio Art Tours this October! The last time I participated in OSAT was in 2021, and I’d say I’m overdue. I had hoped to do it the last two years but life was not assisting in those aspirations. So, despite the uncertainty and anxiety of these times, I have registered for 2025!

Important: I will be participating in only the 2nd and 3rd weekends, Oct. 11-12 and 18-19, NOT the 1st weekend. Other Wonder Valley participants on those weekends include Mark Heuston (#1), Bax Studio (#2), Wonder Earth Ceramics (#4), and the venerable Bob Arnett, who has taken part in every OSAT since the beginning (#6).

So if you’re in the area, or looking for an excuse to come visit the desert, mark your calendar for October. I will have some of my latest acrylic collages, as well as monoprints from my gel press and other fun stuff.

Rhythm Section is one of those recent acrylic collages that may be on show. Like The Dragonfly, it’s collaged with a sheet of random marks made from excess paint on my brush. Why do I call it “Rhythm Section”? Because it’s carrying the beat.
