I have the wonderful opportunity to do some collaborative works with artist and friend Susan Longini. 

Our work together is about humans in our environments – how we are affected by them, how we are changed or not, how we move into our environment or let it come to us, and so on.  These environments might be external, natural, with other people, or even our own internal psychological environments.

We called our first piece Dangerous Opportunity.

Currently we’re working on a piece called Sometimes It’s Bigger Than Us, which we will donate to the Bay Area Glass Institute auction. 

More to come!

Dangerous Opportunity

Micaëla Gallery and Projects is showing one of my pieces at the Affordable Art Fair, and I received a lovely review by Daniel Rolnick.

“Micaëla Gallery and Projects has an elegant display of fine art at its booth in the Affordable Art Fair.  Their exhibit is split between a variety of mediums and pieces – including one by Susan Longini made out of pigmented crystals.  And when the gallery’s owner pointed out that the crystals actually formed a landscape, it became even cooler, since a whole other element was revealed about the work.  The gallery also had works on paper by Peter Foucault, who used a mixture of collage and ink to create really beautiful, yet chaotic, paintings.  However, my favorite piece in the exhibit is a sculpture by Kathleen Elliot of a frosted white branch.  It’s definitely just one of those pieces you put into a room that makes everything feel like it’s worth a million dollars.”
