0 Comments

 
I'm excited to announce I have a new drawing on display and available for purchase at the CORBIN STUDIO & GALLERY in Crisfield, MD. The drawing seen here "Dredging for Crab" is from my ongoing series, Forged by Water and is inspired by the beautiful photography of Robert de Gast - a quintessential photographer of the Chesapeake Bay, Delmarva Peninsula, and the regions watermen. Special thanks to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and Gabriella Cantelmo for allowing me access to their impressive archive of Mr. de Gast's work.

The show is a short one so be sure to take advantage while you can. It runs from just May 15-19 with a reception tomorrow Friday, May 17th from 5-8pm. Thanks and I hope to see you there!

New Artwork at Bishop's Stock Gallery

5/1/2024

0 Comments

 
I'm excited to announce that I currently have new artwork available at BISHOP'S STOCK GALLERY. These pieces are from a collection of new drawings titled Forged by Water, an ongoing series attempting to capture the rugged and gritty nature of life as a Chesapeake Bay waterman. The title of the artwork here is "Mud Rock Oysters" and depicts waterman PT Hambleton of Deal Island, MD in action.

Most of the drawings currently in the series originated in the photography of Jay Fleming, one of Maryland's most skilled photographers (please check out his work here ). My hope is that I've done justice to Jay's excellent work as well as to the lives of the watermen and those who work within that industry.
