“Dancing With the Void” – Art Walk Recap

Art, Events, Illustration, Mixed Media, Uncategorized

I just want to give a huge thank you to everyone who showed up for the opening reception of my art show, this Tuesday night. It was a really special time to reconnect with some old friends and family and meet some new folks as well. I think with COVID these kinds of live events are more appreciated now than ever. Don’t we all want a little break from the Zoomverse?

If you happen to be in Mill Valley this Spring, feel free to stop by, and follow this link here for more info and to register for the free show. Here are some photos by the dynamic duo of Karen Winokan & her partner Gianni Restani.

Josef Sudek X Georg Kolbe Collage Series

Art, Illustration, Mixed Media

I made this series last winter while in Mt. Shasta, and never posted it on my website, until now. This is one of my favorite series. I love combining seemingly opposing elements of photography and sculpture with pastel color schemes and earth tones…and these two artists I felt had a surprising sense of kinship with each other that could rest well in a frame together. In both their work, I find a stoic brotherhood of sorts. 

Hope you enjoy it and feel free to reach out to me for prints and follow my other artistic adventures on Instagram here @paraprose.  Many thanks!

“The Developers” Art Series

Art, Illustration, Mixed Media

I’ve been inspired by desert landscapes a lot lately (in my filmmaking and artwork). Recently I completed a series that I’m really proud of inspired by New Mexico pueblos specifically called “The Developers”. It tells the story of two real estate developers who come into town and seek a profit in this arid and sacred landscape.

Below are three versions of this series. Robert Rauschenberg and the film Paris, Texas were both big influences on this series as well.

Hope you enjoy and feel free to follow my Instagram @paraprose to keep up with my most recent creative concoctions. I also sell prints and paintings there too 🙂
