The Gitomer bag

This You Bag is a study for a wall-hanging portrait that I’m currently working on.

I have a brand new website!!

I know it may not look that different from the outside, but, if it were any more automated, this site would write my blog posts and paint my portraits for me!

An oversized pile of letters

My Letter From The American Cousin had to be more than an allegorical portrait to work as a piece.

Letter From The American Cousin

Also known as an allegorical portrait of a young woman as a bald man. 

Collectors or patrons?

It’s the art collectors who make headlines and who have dealers and artists falling all over themselves to make a good impression, but it’s the art patrons who actually fuel art-making.

The Real Babe

I met Zan in a funny way: we went trick-or-treating a few years ago.  Somewhere along the way, she told me that she’s originally from Canada.  At the time, I was in full subject search mode for my series about what it means to be American, Apple Pie, so with her disclosure her fate was sealed: I had to have her as part of my collection!

The process of process

Even if the process isn’t an end in itself, I think there’s good reason to document it.

Just because I’m showing at DIVA…

The opening party for Apple Pie at Eugene’s Downtown Initiative For The Visual Arts was so much fun!

Not your mother’s tarte aux pommes.

My Maman and I made her version of apple pie—a tarte aux pommes—for the opening of Apple Pie tonight in Eugene!
