My First Post :)
April 5th, 2010 2 CommentsDear Internet … :)
Welcome to my new blog! Lately I’ve actually been doing a lot more web design work than painting, and it only seemed fitting to revisit my own site along the way. As you can see, I’ve given my website a bit of an overhaul:
The main purpose of the redesign was to make it easier to post new paintings as I create them – it was getting to be quite a chore – so I decided to rebuild the site using WordPress to manage the content. And having gone that far, it would have been silly not to add a blog while I was at it … so here we are.
At the very least, the new format makes it easy for me to share new paintings with the world … but I also hope to write regularly with step-by-step demos, descriptions of my working methods, stories about my paintings, personal reflections, photos, and anything else that inspires me. I’ve also recently taken my first small steps into the world of teaching, and the blog gives me a nice platform for posting workshops and classes as they arise.
So stay tuned! If you’d like to receive updates from my website, you can now subscribe by RSS feed or by Email, or connect with me on Facebook or Twitter.
Enjoy!
Classes at ‘The Art School’
April 5th, 2010 Add commentAlthough I’ve always been happy to share my experiences and working methods with others, I’ve never actively pursued formal teaching. But recently I gave two local portrait demos and found myself really enjoying it. Shortly afterwards I was contacted by The Art School, a community service-based organization dedicated to offering affordable arts classes to the Binghamton, NY area, and the timing seemed right.
So I’ll be putting on my instructor’s hat shortly … I’ll probably offer a one-day portrait workshop this May, and a weekly evening class in July/August. If you’d like to stay informed about new classes/workshops, please subscribe to this blog. You can also support The Art School by becoming a fan on Facebook.
