    LA ART SHOW January 7 – 11, 2026
    LA CONVENTION CENTER 
    West Hall

    I’ll be showing again at the LA Art Show with Fabrik. I hope you’ll come see some color from me. 

    Not really what I do. I have only these 5 pieces.

    I’m of the opinion that color looks too busy and causes your eyes not to flow from space to space in the frame the way it’s meant to be seen like black and white can convey so pragmatically. But California Poppies and Australian Poppies demand color. Egg yolks and Picasso shaped reflections in the water scream for it too. Dogs wearing sunglasses? Do we need color to appreciate the humor? The sunglasses are the plot not the laundry, and not even Fanny, the model. Although it is her perfect doggie. For some reason she has sunglasses for him, of course she does. Unplanned fun.

    I will only be showing these works in LA this year, they are QUITE LARGE and I don’t trust a certain someone’s tariffs. Might cost more than airfare. And I felt like keeping my 1 of 1 color pieces at home in LA.

    I have shows coming up with Fabrik in Mexico City, Milan and London with work more in line with what I normally do. I’ll post some of those works soon.

    my year… my life… and my grief

    I don’t ask anyone to read further, but I have been missing this year. Both my father and my mother passed away and two weeks after my mom went my 19 year old friend (kitty), Niles, passed too. I have been on constant emergency notice since the Palisades Fire started in January. In September, I finally got some sleep. Not having any family member’s to help was really hard. Tell yours to form a Trust so that it makes it easier on everyone.

    It feels weird that I feel like I need to explain an absence from everything. I’ve also grown way less interested in social media drab. Especially with AI aggregating my work during all this and finding it used in some sicko’s portfolio like he actually made the image. So I have been “away.” I know it’s ok to just disappear for a while, I’ve just not been able to respond to a lot of people due to zero energy to do so, time differences, parental emergencies, pet emergencies, and trying to keep myself above water and my work afloat.

    So…

    I can’t wait to be back in Italy… Can’t wait to see Mexico City for the first time… and London is always London where else can anyone get a proper crumpet?

    A LOT has been happening and I have been completely overwhelmed with busyness that I haven’t been able to tell you all about it. There was a bit of a drought and now its a monsoon. Just like California weather. What month is it? March?

    February was a hit and 1/2 when out of the blue I was invited to participate in the LA Art Show (you can go on a virtual tour here) with Photo Independent. WHAT A SHOW! It’s huge. And to be exhibiting my work there was really wonderful. I met so many interesting and amazing artists and photographers, collectors; and listening to people talk about my work when they didn’t know I was the photographer was fun. It isn’t apparent in some of my work how exactly I do what I do and listening to them examining, out loud, their best guess on how an image was made really threw me off a few times. I let them get it out then went over to tell them how I make my images. The most beautiful thing I saw was a mother TEACHING her child about my work. There is hope for the future. Here are a few photo highlights:

    I have much more to discuss in the coming days. I just approved the proof for the release of my first monograph titled, Sunkissed 85 and I’m headed to Milan to exhibit my work with Photo Independent at the MIA Photo Fair. You can catch me on Instagram for brief updates.
