I also blog about my work and inspiration.

The Commonwealth of New Island
The New Island Exhibition Opens June 11 in Kaukauna Wisconsin USA The Commonwealth of New Island will open its Embassy Art Exhibition at the Oceans and Dreams Gallery in Kaukauna on Friday evening, June 11. I’ll host a reception from 6 to 9 pm; and the show will run through August 31. The gallery is located above KC&T coffee shop at 127 W. Wisconsin Avenue. I believe I’ve created the largest art work in the world; a 12,600 square-mile imaginary island-nation that I call New Island. Situated in the southern Indian Ocean, New Island’s beaches, landscape, towns, and people will all be represented in this exhibition of paintings and drawings. Also included are the island’s many maps, its flag, coat-of-arms, coinage, postage stamps, artifacts, and land. OK, imaginary land... I welcome anyone age 13 and over to claim a piece of New Island and then imagine what he or she might do there. The “land” consists of a deeded description of specific New Island acreage that will allow the owner to build an island home, start a business, conduct a writer’s retreat, plant a vineyard, or otherwise use their dream place. Parcels for sale will be exhibited at the gallery and also on the www.newisland.net website. Owners have the option to put up their improvements on the website as well. Owners may also hire me to create an original painting of their New Island property, with their dream place on it! They may also create their own improvements with their own images. New Island is meant to free your mind! The gallery welcomes visitors from 7 am to 7 pm Monday through Friday, and 8 am to 2 pm Saturday and Sunday. All are invited to see this unique exhibition. ************************** If you missed my Oceans and Dreams show at KC&T, it is now at The Gallery at the American National Bank, 2200 North Richmond Street, Appleton Wisconsin. Thirty original paintings and drawings of ocean surf, beaches, and interiors are on display. The solo show is a partnership exhibition with The Appleton Art Center and will run through July 12. |
