Join me and friends on February 28, 2026, 6—9 pm for Salon Together, a special exhibition and fundraiser made possible by the extraordinary generosity of artists who have shaped and been shaped by the organization throughout our 16-year history. All works in the exhibition are fully donated and for sale, with 100% of proceeds directly supporting @DimensionsVariable ’s forthcoming publication—a long-term archival project developed over the past sixteen years. The publication will feature each participating artist, documenting their work and the sustained relationships that have defined Dimensions Variable’s experimental and community-centered mission.
Dimensions Variable generously hosted a solo exhibition of my work and artist talk during 2025 for which I am beyond humbled and honored. Art I have donated will support their forthcoming publication, a archival project developed over more than 15 years. Come out and show your support!

This past weekend was a lively group conversation that has stayed with me. My response was only after some podcasts I often listen to. I didn't speak really at the conversation held at Dimensions Variable with input coming from many directions but was nudged by some ideas obliquely positioned to do so.

My opening reception yesterday at Florida Gulfcoast Univ. Jazz students playing some of the music they composed in response to joining me for a walk in a park in Miami. Also I did two printmaking workshops with students. Such an honor! Thank you so much!

Can we bring a place out of obscurity and expose it to renewed scrutiny? A promising starting point is to delve into its intricate history. Uncovering the hidden history of a place is akin to finding a way back into the place-world, allowing us to savor the rebirth of place even on the most resistant terrain.

Just a few words about a year with challenges and rewards. At various points during the year I was offered help by my many friends. I thank them in person and not turn it into a social media event. Thank you for understanding. I exercised a lot of patience during the year, sitting around waiting, watching my face and body change (other than getting older which we all will endure), not being able to focus at times, etc.. I have never failed to reach for life and its abundance. I thank the Great Spirits for my renewed health!
