Greetings!
Spring is in the air here in beautiful Sky Valley, CA. Flowers are bloomin', bees are buzzin', birds are chirpin' and the amazing La Quinta Arts Festival is next week!! Four days (March 8-11) of extraordinary, highest quality fine art at the gorgeous Civic Center Campus in beautiful La Quinta, CA. This gem was just ranked the number #2 art festival in the whole US of A!! by the Art Fair Source Book, the holy grail of art festival ratings. I'm taking a few minutes out of mad art-making (good mad) to inform you about a brand new process (fruits of which I'll unveil) at the La Quinta Arts Festival next week and to update you on a couple salient newsy tidbits including my current festival schedule. Best wishes for a happy fun prosperous enlightening spring, Mark ... chirp, chirp!

Not to be missed, the La Quinta Arts Festival is ranked #2 in the US by Art Fair Source Book, this industry standard in Arts Festival ratings.
I was honored and humbled to have received Best of Category (Photography) at this storied festival last year.

Artrageous 2012
PALM SPRINGS ART MUSEUM
 | | Golden Joshua Tree, 36x36", edition of 10 |
Katherine Plake Hough, Chief Curator of the Palm Springs Art Museum, just informed me Golden Joshua Tree sold at the higher than valued price of $2,000 at Artrageous 2012!
The biennial fund raising auction is hosted by the Palm Springs Art Museum's Contemporary Arts Council and supports the Museum's acquisition of new artwork.
This marks the third time I've participated. So happy to have tangibly supported a treasured cultural institution I love with the fruits of the labor I love. |
Delicious Depth
Resin Over Gold ...
 | | Golden Oasis #3976, inkjet over gold metallic acrylic on cradled hardboard, flooded with resin, 16x16" |
This close up, shallow depth of field, abstract photograph of palm frond fibers from the Golden Oasis Series is ink jet printed over gold metallic acrylic on cradled hardboard and finished with a thick, self leveling "flood" of clear as water resin.
The effect is deeply luminous. Shimmering. Alive.
I'm unveiling the first large scale artworks like this at the La Quinta Arts Festival next week!
