Several of my paintings will be exhibited by Elins Eagles-Smith Gallery at the Art Silicon Valley Fair in San Mateo. The fair opens tonight (Oct. 8) with a VIP preview, and is then open to the general public Friday through Sunday. This fair is organized by the Art Miami people, so you know it’s a quality event, with galleries from all over the world.
At the end of August I received a visit from San Francisco gallerist Kim Eagles-Smith. Kim enjoys a good road trip and a big sky so he drove out to Laramie to meet with me and see the new paintings.
While his gallery has long been my favorite in San Francisco, I had never met Kim personally. He’s a wonderful, fascinating guy, and we had a great time hanging out in the belly of the old west and talking about art. Those conversations were routinely punctuated by one of us saying “Exactly!”—a good indicator that we’re on the same aesthetic page.
Of course we spent some time at my studio so Kim could see the new work in person. The result of all this, I’m happy to say, is that I’m now represented by Elins Eagles-Smith Gallery. Elins Eagles-Smith has always been at the top of my list of galleries to visit when in San Francisco because they represent several of my favorite contemporary painters, including Johnnie Winona Ross, Kris Cox, Gary Komarin, and Ricardo Mazal (among others). I’m proud to be joining that list.
