INDIANAPOLIS ZOO NATURALLY INSPIRED PAINT OUT

Each spring, the Indianapolis Zoo selects a group of artists to paint “en plein air” (outdoors) interpreting their vision of the Zoo and Gardens. This year, I was fortunate to be one of the artists chosen. All of the artwork will be on display in the Schaefer Rotunda at White River Gardens for the summer, June 1-August 24.

On August 25, you are invited to attend a silent auction and artist’s reception at the White River Gardens. Reservations for the auction are required.  Please call (317) 630-2046 to save your spot at this event where you can meet the artists, enjoy light refreshments and bid on some fabulous artwork!  All proceeds benefit the Indianapolis Zoo. My apologies for my camera work. These are slightly out of focus.

Most of my work is painted on old book covers that have been up cycled and repurposed to become a painting surface that will continue to help us achieve a green planet. The actual paintings themselves are conceived from a historic view of the way that we see things. Each of my paintings resonates with an historical perspective upon its completion, a look and patina of having been loved and handed down from generation to generation, hinting at ownership  by a long forgotten person. I’ve always been drawn to things that have a history and a story behind them, things that show signs of wear or age. My goal as an artist is to create every item with an historical past with an aged look and feel to it.
