Slowly but surely, my family is building our own collection of art that we can enjoy immensely, and from which I can find additional inspiration.  

Below are two recent acquisitions that I'm extremely happy to own and promote:  an oil by PD Jensen, and mixed media sculpture by Marita Dingus: 

I'm particularly excited to be a part of this upcoming show after the new year, featuring one of my works from my recent Unholy Martyrs series. Here's a brief synopsis of the exhibition:

"The artworks chosen for Threshold  were not only a response to the concept of a threshold, a marked point of passing between spaces or states of being, but the works chosen also speak to pressing issues we face as a society at this moment in time.  The present is itself a threshold between past and future, the only moment in which we are able to act. At this particular point in time, it seems like much is at stake and much action is needed."

SUMMER DAYDREAMS

JULY 1 - SEPTEMBER 25 // KENNETH SUSYNSKI, AMANDA CALDWELL & SEIKO A. PURDUE

The summer exhibit at the Chase Gallery is open Monday, July 1 through Wednesday, September 25. Featuring three regional artists each working in their own distinct styles and in a range of mediums, the work all shares an evocative, dream-like quality. Fiber artist Seiko A. Purdue installed her fiber piece, Berry Grove, in the Chase, stringing the lightweight fabric structures from the ceiling slats above. The installation is surrounded by the large oil paintings by Seattle-based artist Kenneth Susynski and the paintings and drawings of Spokane artist Amanda Caldwell. All three artists will be at the gallery for the September First Friday reception, on Friday, September 6, from 4 to 7 p.m. as well as for a lunch-hour Artist Talk that day, from noon to 1 p.m.

I do not participate in social media personally, yet have decided to post my portfolio going back to 2015 onto Behance, the largest online platform for creatives.

The page is intended for imagery only as I do not plan to comment, post or offer replies - as always, I direct interested art lovers to my website and prefer to interact and engage privately, usually via email.

Iron Poppies (2019):  marking a directional shift to a hybrid-style that ties together key artistic elements that I have employed in the past in richly-rendered compositions.   This is the first in the new series, Unholy Martyrs, based upon and dedicated to the plight of women prisoners of way in Poland during WWII.
