Recently I took some friends visiting from out of state to see William Faulkner’s home in Oxford, Mississippi. Oxford is about thirty miles from my painting studio in Holly Springs, Mississippi. While at the house the curator, William Griffith, asked me to exhibit my work at the Rowan Oak Gallery in 2026 . Rowan Oak is a part of the University of Mississippi Art Museum. More information on the exhibit will be posted later.

New Symphony of Time, an exhibition of works from the permanent collection of the Mississippi Museum of Art, includes two of my paintings. One is Fauna of Mississippi shown here.

This new history of Mississippi features a painting from the "Baby Doll Suite" on the dust jacket. The painting, Doorway with Column, is in the collection of Dr. Hal and LaMarr Winn.
 

Pollard Vineyard in Washington State commissioned a painting for their first label. Here is the mock up.

Robin Pollard grows her grapes near Zillah, Washington in the Yakima Valley. She lives on Vashon Island near Seattle. Robin's partner, Chris Camarda, is well know for his Andrew Will Wine.

 Earlier Andrew Will also commissioned a painting for the Sorella label.
