New ART @ ROOM Fine Art Gallery

Three of my latest paintings, that are an interpersonal exploration of the in between or the betwixt. You can view and acquire them at ROOM Fine Art Gallery gallery in San Rafael, CA. I feel all three are very mysterious and very powerful canvas's.

This was has gotten some amazing international comments on my Saatchi online gallery.

Raramuri
Acrylic on Canvas
40" x 36"
I began this piece three years ago. I was inspired by a sacred trip I took to canyons of the Sierra Tarahumara in Mexico. The Raramuri are the indigenous peoples that live there. I created a "tree shrine" there and I felt really connected to the land. You could peel the layers on this painting like an onion. The first layer is a green color field.

Pneuma
Acrylic on Canvas
24" x 36"
Depth 3"
Pneuma is a dark canvas with a lot of layers and light. The meaning pf Pneuma is "breath" and in a religious context for "spirit" or "soul"


Illumination
Acrylic on Canvas
40: x 36"
This is very layered piece. There is probably five completed paintings under each layer. It is a process of going from the dark into the light.

Take 5: ARTbreak Day 2011

www.artbreakday.com

Visualize walking into the center of a city and seeing a group of random strangers sitting around a table chatting, laughing, sharing, and getting to know one another through the act of making art together.

On Take 5: Art Break Day folks will literally be taking an art break; taking a breather from the ordinary course of their day to MAKE ART FOR FREE!

The first official Take 5: ARTbreak Day will be on September 2nd, 2011. This community ARTreach event will take course during the work day, in the cities of San Francisco, San Rafael, Richmond, Berkeley, and Oakland. In the “heart” of each city a canopy with the words “Take an Art Break” will house tables, filled to the brim with an array of art supplies! Passersby will be greeted and invited to have a seat and to take an art break.

Over the next four months we need to raise $50,000.

That is $12,500 per month.

and $417.00 per day.

That is equal to 117 Venti lattes at Starbucks per day or one iPhone per day.
