I’m super excited to announce my new partnership with the LEOPOLD Gallery in beautiful Brookside in Kansas City, MO.

And I have to admit, our entry has been a little tougher this year. Not only because we are missing our friends Cheri and Allen desperately, but also because we both arrived with expectations this year. Both of us have pretty serious amounts of work that we would like to accomplish while we are here. I am shooting a new series for photo-gravure to be displayed at the Perlow-Stevens Gallery this summer, and Kyle has a lot of work to do on his pedal-steel guitar.
Thanks for your patience with the blog silence. Kyle and I are in Texas for a few days on our way to Mexico. We are celebrating belated holidays and early birthdays with my family before the annual trip to Guanajuato. This time next week I plan on regaling you with so many stories and photos that you will long for the days of quiet.
Adios amigos, hasta próxima semana.
In the last few months, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I got to where I am right now, and where I want to go next. The end of my travel season always becomes a time of reflection as I slow down, take stock and begin to make plans for the following year. Continue reading
Guanajuato Cemetery
My fun looks a lot like my work and my work looks a whole lot like my fun. They both look like a lot of travel with a camera up to my face, and time in the studio experimenting with materials and techniques. However, they often feel distinctly different to me, like the difference between a sketch book and a canvas. Or maybe between listening and talking. Continue reading
Too QuietThe last of our artist house guests left this morning. Combine that with the end of the show season, and it is going to get really quiet around here. I am going to be happy to have the house and studio to myself for about a minute and then I’ll begin to miss all the noise and ruckus.
Knowing that you are all very busy, and that sometimes the important tasks that you would like to get to get pushed down the list for the urgent things that must be done, I have made a little something for you. A boilerplate to make things easier. Continue reading

The fall weather and our return home after summer shows means it must be time for one of my favorite things! A house full of some of the most talented artists in the country and the PLAZA ART FAIR!
After a great evening in the crisp air on the back porch, an evening of catching up, of great food and laughs so hard my side still hurts this morning, we are all on our way (shortly, in my case) to set up our booths for the last festival of the year. And it couldn’t be better. The weather is going to be PERFECT. Our friends are all gathered (both at our house and near the corner of Central and Nichols in the show). And it is time for what is sure to be the best show of the year!
Details of the show and the special celebration offering can be found in the email sent to subscribers. If you would like to receive these emails please sign up here and you can get in on the fun.
Alacartoona - by Rich Sugg/KC Star
Kyle (the smiley one that is usually behind the scenes at my shows) was in the photo studio with his band Alacartoona within two hours of our arrival in KC, but not behind the camera like I am – he shines best in front of it. Continue reading
