Art shows, new online info, and hunkering down

Hi Friends
I hope you're all healthy and safe in this challenging time, and that you're keeping a good perspective on our shared situation. As we are all doing, I am making some changes to my activities and plans, so I want to tell you about them.

A New Page
The vast majority of art sales I make are through the much appreciated galleries and art-consultants that I work with - I rarely sell pieces directly and usually I don't actively promote doing so. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an abrupt halt to most gallery activity, exhibitions have been cancelled or postponed, and other projects are on hold. For that reason I have launched the purchase page you see in the menu bar above - it's not a "shop", but an invitation to contact me if you are interested in purchasing work. Hopefully you already know that my work ranges from inexpensive small prints to giant commissions!

All indications suggest that what was already a tough time for galleries and artists (my one solo show of last year was cancelled when the gallery lost their lease to gentrification) is about to get tougher, so I urge you, if you're able, to support any artist or you follow or check in with a gallery you're a fan of.

Hunkering in the studio
Exhibitions
  • The Left Coast Annual show at Sanchez Art Center is sadly cancelled. There will be an online virtual version of this diverse and excellent group show curated by Carin Adams, Curator of Art at The Oakland Museum of California.
  • The show Home at Elder Gallery, Charlotte, NC, in which I have a number of paintings is now postponed until fall 2020. I was due to do a residency there in May and construct a gallery installation for the show - I am hoping this will still go ahead at a future date.
  • My two person show at Sue Greenwood Fine Art in Laguna Beach is still scheduled to open August 20th.

The Upside
This is a great opportunity to hunker down in my studio and be productive! I've been painting a lot this year already and expect to do a lot more the next few months. I'll update the website with new pieces as they emerge, and you can always keep an eye on what I'm up to via Instagram or my less-used Facebook.

Thanks as always for your ongoing interest and support - its always appreciated!
Stay safe and well,

Martin
