Chromatic Wanderings Opens November 7
Nov 4, 2024
Just a quick reminder that my show Chromatic Wanderings with Carol Sanzalone starts this week! We’re having an opening reception this Saturday, November 9, from 1-3pm. If you can’t make it to the opening, the show runs from November 7 through December 1. Artists’ Gallery is located at 18 Bridge Street and is open Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun from 11am-6pm, or by appointment.
In Chromatic Wanderings, I’ll be exhibiting twenty paintings, almost all of them new and showing for the first time, including six paintings from a new “Mind Wandering” series.
Also featured in this show is Carol Sanzalone, who has been with Artists’ Gallery for twenty years and is known for her watercolor and acrylic paintings that capture the interplay of light and shadow in landscapes from around the Delaware Valley.
If you’ve never been to Lambertville, it’s a charming, picturesque town on the western edge of New Jersey across the Delaware River from New Hope, Pennsylvania. Lambertville is often recognized as one of the nicest small towns in the Northeast USA.
Thinking of visiting and wondering what else to do in town? There are many good places to eat, including Lambertville Station, Under the Moon Cafe, and Anton’s at the Swan, plus some of the best ice cream around at O Wow Cow. Right next to the gallery is a brand new Thai restaurant, Pru, and a bit down the road is Bell’s Tavern, where in addition to a nice meal you can find the art of other Artists’ Gallery artists (this month it’s abstract paintings by Larry Mitnick). Or walk across the bridge to PA and try a fancy dinner with a great view of the river at Stella New Hope. For shopping, my wife loves Sojourner and Foxy Reds for unique surprises, but Lambertville & New Hope also have many other jewelry, clothing, book, and specialty stores to visit (art galleries, too!).
Hope to see you in Lambertville! If you have any questions about the show or need other recommendations about the area, just let me know!

Ongoing At Artists Gallery

As of April 2024, I am pleased to once again be an exhibiting artist at Artists’ Gallery (18 Bridge Street, Lambertville, New Jersey).

Artist Talk for Soft Curves and Hard Edges

On March 2, 2024, I gave an artist talk at M Galleries Fellowship in Basking Ridge about my current exhibition (up through March 31), “Soft Curves and Hard Edges.” Thank you to everyone who braved the downpour to attend and a big thank you to M Galleries Fellowship director & curator, Frank May, for inviting me to exhibit in this space and for hosting this event.

Soft Curves and Hard Edges
Feb 1, 2024
I’m very happy to announce an upcoming solo show at M Galleries Fellowship in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, which will focus on some of my geometric abstractions. These paintings all still are comprised of color gradients and curving hand-painted marks, but the overall composition of these pieces are geometric and hard-edged.
M Galleries is a network of contemporary art spaces around New Jersey and the “Fellowship” space is located in the atrium adjacent to the Sieminski Theater within the Fellowship Village senior living community in Basking Ridge, just a few minutes away from Routes 78 & 287.
There will be an opening reception on Saturday, February 3, from 4-6pm as well as a gallery talk on Saturday, March 2, from 1-3pm (check back to be sure as these times are tentative!). Both are free and open to the public. Gallery hours are normally 9am-5pm, daily.
New Version of Munsell Tool
Jan 25, 2024
I just released a new version of the Virtual Munsell Color Wheel, a tool I first developed about ten years ago to help explore the Munsell Notation. The web-based tool lets you select color “chips” and see what their corresponding sRGB and hexadecimal values are, which is useful if you’re writing HTML/CSS or using an image editor like Photoshop (where you can paste hex codes into the color picker tool).
The new version, though not perfect, is a bit more responsive to various display sizes and orientations. For all of the details on what’s new in this version, visit the Munsell page on my website. Or, you can launch the tool directly:

Tawa at 45
Oct 1, 2023
The Trenton Artists Workshop Association (TAWA) turns 45 years old this year! When I first moved to Mercer County nearly 18 years ago, I quickly learned about TAWA, made a number of artist friends through this group, and took part in some wonderful exhibitions. In October, the Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie will be hosting TAWA at 45: A Survey of Art from the Trenton Artists Workshop Association and I’m very glad to be included in what will certainly be a spectacular show.
My painting, Sierpinski Squared #3, featuring overlapping fractal-like shapes along with depth-inducing gradients of color, will be a part of the show. The exhibition runs from October 8 through December 2, 2023, with a public opening reception on October 8 from 1-4pm.
Patterns and Repetition
Sep 25, 2023
I’m very excited to be included in the group show Patterns and Rhythms at the Trenton Free Public Library from September 28 through November 25, 2023, along with artists Florence Moonan, Léni Paquet-Morante, and Adriana Groza. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, September 28, from 5-7pm at the library in their newly refurbished second floor gallery. I’ll be showing several paintings from my “The Predictive Self” series.
Thank you to curator Elizabeth Roszel-Aubrey for inviting me to participate!
