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.

Four New Paintings in LA
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.
These four new paintings recently arrived at the Billis/Williams Gallery in Los Angeles, where my next major solo exhibition will take place in February 2026.
I’ll be updating the website more frequently as I work on the paintings for the show. I have my work cut out for me.
Seattle Art Fair 2025
I have four new paintings showing at the upcoming Seattle Art Fair (July 17-20). The Billis Williams Gallery will display them.
My next major solo exhibition is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles in February 2026. Given the pace at which I work, I need to start preparing now, seven months in advance.
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.
The World Revealed
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.
Duo
A new pair of typewriters is on the way to New York City and will be displayed at the George Billis Gallery in Manhattan.
New Paintings in Palm Springs
I have new paintings at the Palm Springs Modernism Show.
A set of new camera pieces will be on display from February 14-17.
Memory: Facts and Fallacies No.6
After being lost in a shipping company’s warehouse for six weeks, this painting was found, put back on track, and is now safely in the hands of the George Billis Gallery at his Connecticut gallery.
I have been shipping paintings for over 20 years, I still get anxious when the paintings are in transit.
On to Something Big
These two paintings have just arrived in New York City. I worked on them over the last few weeks of summer, just as a commission for the largest painting I will probably ever do came to me.
The commissioned painting is four feet high by eight feet wide. It is large enough for me to rent a van and move it around once it is completed. It will take me a few months to complete, but after several weeks of working on it, I already like what I see, which is good news.
Good Society
My family took the dogs for a walk, and when we rounded the corner to another block, I spotted this shabby old chair on a driveway with a sign saying “FREE.” I knew I could make it work in a painting or two the second I saw it. So, I told my family to go on without me as I lugged the old chair back home.
I set it up in my studio and took out several antique books. And three of them were just given to me by my brother-in-law. A set of three volumes titled “Good Society.” I like that these two paintings are comprised of found and given objects.
The Billis Williams Gallery will exhibit these two new paintings at the upcoming Seattle Art Fair, which will run from July 25 to 28.
Ten Cameras
I was excited when this commission came my way — the client gave me a dream scenario. It would be a challenge pushing me to work very large and maintain precisely what I convey in my work entirely. I am pleased with the final result.
