An exhibition of new paintings at SCAPE - Southern California Art Projects and Exhibitions opening early March 2023.

This body of work is inspired by a frescoed room from the Villa of Livia, painted c. 30-20 bce, and now housed in its own room in the Palazzo Massimo in Rome.

While in Italy in 2022 I spent two weeks in Roma, as a continuation and supplement to my residency in Napoli in May. I wandered the city, again focusing on archaeological sites and museums, shooting and creating a project of multiple exposure photographs that will eventually be processed into the Roma Fusione body of work. Some of the work I did in Roma was specific to the Napoli Farnese + Roma Caracalla body of work and some specific to Roma and its vast archive of historic art and architecture. Everywhere one goes in Roma there is another surprise, treasure or significant, sometimes overlooked, example of the birth of Western civilization. It is a city of endless mystery, antiquity, romance and art and architectural marvels. It is a city that thrills my imagination and shifts my perceptions.

I was invited to Napoli, Italy for an artist residency for the month of May 2022, with the private foundation Art 1307. I spent nearly a month exploring and making photographs in Napoli and its surrounding areas, with a focus on historic archaeological sites, museums and the city itself. I am currently working on processing and developing the photographs I made while in Napoli as proposals for future exhibitions in the city in 2023 or 2024. Once confirmed, I will be announcing those upcoming exhibitions on this Reveals page.
