The current exhibition at Alliance Gallery hosts new work acquired by the Houston Airport System Portable Artwork Collection, including Bayou, a painting of mine from 2008.  Cheers and congrats to all the artists and Houston's growing collection of great art.  I'm looking forward to the opening party.

NEW!! Google Map of Public Art by DFG

Inspired by San Antonio's X Marks the Art and the Public Art Network annual conference, I now can share a google map pin pointing accessible public art projects I have created around the country.  I hope it inspires more people to venture out and view the artwork in person. Enjoy!

I placed the work last night and it really looks great!

I hope to see you all there on Saturday!

SHSU The Woodlands Center OPEN!

Yesterday, Kate and I attended the opening reception for Sam Houston State University The Woodlands Center.  The beautiful new academic building is home to my most recent mosaic project, Reflections to Mist, and state of the art facilities for 4 year and graduate studies.  WHR and Vaughn Construction did an amazing job. It's so nice to see the building clean and complete.

Now open to the public, visitors can ascend the stairs to view the entirety of Reflections to Mist, the 4 story mural we installed in February.  Kate got some great pictures of onlookers and the mural.

Professional shots will be on the SHSU page of my website soon!

Frog in the Pond

After such a nice rain last night, I met a new friend in the pond this morning.  Good Morning Frog!

Office Party: THE BLACK KEYS

Way back in the dead of winter, Kate and I decided to give ourselves something to look forward to: a Spring office party/tickets to The Black Keys at The Mitchell Pavilion.  It was a prefect spring night and a definite celebration.  Thanks to the band for the amazing performance and the infamous Rich Latimer (never without his camera) for the photos.

Mosaic Bird Feeder

Since the big installation at SHSU, Kate and I have been enjoying the garden and the lovely spring we are having here in Houston.  We even got our hands dirty making a mosaic bird feeder for the garden.  It's up and attracting wildlife! Check out the pictures below along with a few garden vignettes.
