“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.”    -John Lubbock

Like a Rock Star

Thanks for the love, Des Moines!

Last week I participated the Des Moines Arts Festival for my 19th time, and oh what fun I had – it was perhaps the closest this studio artist might ever feel to a rock star! My week included a media tour, leading a workshop, being the featured artist with my artwork on both posters and t-shirts for the festival, and if all that wasn’t enough I even won an award! Thanks for the love, Des Moines – the feeling is definitely mutual!

Just Like the Wind

“Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.”   -Miguel Angel Ruiz

Brookside Art Annual – Same Spot, New Artwork!

April 26, 2018 by Chris | 0 Comments

The Brookside Art Annual May 4th-6th will be the first time to show my latest collection of artwork – Ghost Notes –  in Kansas City, and I couldn’t be more excited about sharing it in my hometown! It’s a different marriage of imagery, materials, and printing technique, but still so clearly my quiet contemplative voice. So if you’re walking down the big tent and see me in my usual location (#33) but don’t recognize the work, you’re in the right spot, stop in, say hi and check it out!

Note – If you were hoping to see the Mile Markers here in KC, don’t worry, we have a lot of beautiful new pieces for you to choose from and you have options for viewing them in person – either contact me to make an appointment to come by the studio, or see me this fall at the Plaza Art Fair.

Itchy Feet – Time to get Moving!

April 16, 2018 by Chris | 0 Comments

 

The birds are chirping, the trees are leafing out, it’s snowing (still?again?), and my feet are itching. It must be spring!

 

Now don’t get me wrong, my native Texan blood has come to love the winter, or more specifically, the chance that the cold weather brings to tuck into the studio and make artwork. That said, I am beyond Continue reading »

Ain’t Technology Grand?!

February 28, 2018 by Chris | 0 Comments

As a full-time working artist for more than two decades, I still get a thrill when “firsts” come along. I just had one happen this past Friday, and it was awesome!

I’ve been emailing back and forth with a lovely couple who live out of town, Angela and Todd, and they were wanting a new piece of artwork. It just so happened that Todd and his son were going to be in KC for a hockey tournament and would be able to drop by the studio. What I didn’t know was that he was going to call Angela on FaceTime, and they were going to tour the studio together! What fun!! Continue reading »
