Featuring twelve paintings as a wall or desk calendar, the wall calendar is printed on sturdy, heavy-stock paper, measuring 23½ inches x 16½ inches. The desktop calendar is 6¼ inches x 5¾ inches. The calendars are printed for the Japanese market and feature Japan’s national holidays.
A bit of a spillover on the bubble gum, this painting recently arrived at the George Billis Gallery in New York City, at the gallery’s new location on the Lower East Side.

Let’s be honest, I almost forgot I even had a website to maintain. There are too many distractions out there. While I’m forgetting to update this website, I’m still painting every day, as I have for 20+ years.

My paintings have been more complex over the past few years. Whereas in the past, single objects were featured, I’m adding more and more to the compositions.

Having all this work that needs to be done is a great way to stay distracted and avoid the doom and gloom of the news cycles.
I’ll be in New York City on Thursday, June 5, for a reception (6pm to 8pm) to discuss my current paintings, which are on exhibition at the George Billis Gallery.

This piece is inspired by the recent large painting I did. If you look closely at this one, you’ll notice that the clock is positioned exactly in the center of the 40 x 40-inch canvas.
Over a year ago, the George Billis Gallery was approached by an art collector with the idea of a large commission. George got in touch with me and gave me the proposal. I was initially intimidated by the scale of the painting—four feet high by eight feet wide. How would I even move something like that around the studio?
I figured out the logistics, moved things around in the studio and started to work. Everything went much smoother than I had anticipated. The collector was very open to the ideas I sent, and the result is a painting that represents almost the entirety of the subjects that I have depicted in paintings for the nearly two decades.
I was given ample time to work on the painting, which was a blessing. I spent months and months with this canvas, and the slow but steady build-up of paint and color was an enjoyable experience.

Of course, the one lingering thought that kept me up at night was how to safely ship the completed painting across the continent. I am on Vancouver Island; the painting is headed to the Upper West Side of Manhattan. How does this go smoothly?
I worked with a local framer who was accommodating and knowledgeable about framing such a large painting. They did it in record time. Then, I had a local carpenter and shipping expert prepare a crate. The painting was safe. It was loaded onto a plane in Vancouver, carefully unpacked once it landed in New York, and installed in the collector’s home by George.
Over the years, I have received many commissions, but this one has been the most challenging. And I am so happy with the results.

I was commissioned to do two paintings for a collector’s home office. Their interior designer had the vision for the setting and pulled it off in a way I could never have imagined. I’m very grateful for the opportunities that come my way, and seeing where some of the paintings land is always a thrill.
