Happy New Year to everyone!

The 2012 Art show season is about to kick into full swing. I have a full schedule lined up for the first 4-5 months of the year, which means I'll be on the road for much of that time. I have a new studio & warehouse in Stuart, FL which will allow me to participate in shows throughout the winter away from my studio in New York.

I've been shooting out in California, and have new work to show for the first time in Florida. I'm excited to be showing this work in some new shows this year, as well as returning to many I have participated in the last couple of years.

This will be my third year showing in Florida, and hope to see many of you that have collected my work in the past, and others that have signed up for my newsletter. I will be showing in Florida through March, and then head off to Texas for some April shows.

My website is constantly being updated as I shoot new work, and welcome home showings if I have the work avail in your area. You can also make an appointment to see the work in Stuart.

Swami's, is an internationally known surfing spot, a point break located in Encinitas, California. Swami's was named after Swami Paramahansa Yogananda, because the grounds and hermitage of the Self-Realization Fellowship ashram, built in 1937, overlook this reef point.
Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I try to imagine being back at the SRF Mediation Gardens, in north county San Diego. The ocean glitters as the sun shines on your face and the waves create a perfect soundtrack while you calmly sit on a bench and think about whatever crosses your mind.Take a stroll through the gardens and marvel at their beauty overlooking the Pacific Ocean. A hidden gem that few know about, but is open to the public. Having lived in this coastal town for over 25 years in my youth, I find myself going back whenever I visit. Some of the best things in life are free, check it out!
