About University Club Phoenix
Formerly a private residence, the University Club of Phoenix has maintained the beauty of a vintage 1917 home, while adapting the structure to meet the changing needs of its members and guests. The University Club offers classic cuisine, impeccable service, and a charming atmosphere - perfect for hosting professional and personal events.

Nature's Passages, my exhibition of paintings focusing on the forests and rivers of Arizona, Colorado, and Washington is now up at Carillon Point in Kirkland, WA.
All paintings in the current exhibition are about passages. Each painting depicts how the light passes across the landscape, creating a unique combination of lit and shadowed areas. Each tree, branch, or rock is like a sundial, which helps you to feel how the passage of light is coupled with the passage of time. You can read the time of day from shadow patterns. The passage of time also creates marks and changes to the landscape – a patch of grass blanched by the sun, aspen trees covered with gold by fall’s magic... There are also passages of physical materials, objects, and creatures through the landscape – the river running on our tree farm, a trail left by deer in the brush, a kaleidoscope of fallen leaves carried through the forest by a gust of wind ... I use trails, rivers, valleys, and light patterns that exist in nature, as well as my painting techniques and added effects, to direct your eye. I try to encourage you to make your own, personal passage through the landscape, which I once encountered and now present to you in this show.

The exhibition is installed throughout Carillon Point in the following locations:
• In the elevator lobbies of buildings 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000
• The Carillon Post Office

On Friday, April 1, I had the opening to my solo exhibition at the Olney Gallery at Trinity Cathedral. What a beautiful gallery space! The opening was a great success, lots of friends, collectors, and visitors came by to view my work. The event was during Phoenix's First Friday artwalk and also coincided with an open rehearsal of the Phoenix Chorale, a special treat to hear. I had four sales during the opening, an even more special treat!
The show runs until April 28 and the gallery is open Tuesday-Friday, 9AM - 4 PM.
