Immerse yourself in the sweeping geometry, ancient coastlines, and vibrant histories of Venice, Croatia and the Adriatic.

Inspired by my travels through Venice, Split, Korčula, Dubrovnik, Vis, Mljet, and the Dalmatian islands, the Dalmati – Adriatic Adventures series transforms centuries of architecture, sea routes, sieges, and island mystique into contemporary geometric abstractions.

Join us for an evening of art, color, storytelling, and community as I debut new works at Big Mike Art – Gallery & Studio in the Lofts Art District, Palm Springs.

Thursday, December 11th
4–7pm

Big Mike Art – Gallery & Studio

3-Year Anniversary Party! - A Celebration of YOU!

You are invited, to my Celebration of YOU!...

3-Years has passed since I first opened my doors in The Lofts building in Palm Springs and I must tell you that I am completely overwhelmed by the love and support that the Greater Palm Springs area has bestowed upon me! With over 170 paintings in my Modern Sacred Geometry series completed since those first days and more than 100 purchased in the local area, I've never really had to say good bye to my babies, it's more, until we meet again at the next get together or dinner party. I am truly blessed.

This Gallery Party is a showcase of my current work and most importantly, a celebration of YOU, so that I might convey how much you all mean to me. Thank you! Let's Party!

Aura of Cyclades - Gallery Show

Have forever been under the spell of Sacred Geometry, (ascribing symbolic and sacred meanings to certain geometric shapes and proportions). So, a recent visit to the mythical Cyclades (Greek Islands) cultivates my fascination and feeds my vision. Come see what I've dreamed-up and party like a Mykonos beach club. Togas optional. Yamas!

Getting the hang of the Gallery and Studio thing and have been incredibly inspired after the success of my first shows.
