Hi,
I'm writing to let you know of an interesting development in my show
in Sacramento's STRS Gallery (State Teachers Retirement Services
Gallery.)
Three days after the show opened an employee working in the STRS
building expressed some discomfort about four of the nine paintings in
the show and they were removed.

I'm no stranger to rejection or having people read to much in to my
paintings. Last November, HANG Gallery in San Francisco and I parted
because (despite an excellent sales history) the gallery employees
felt that my work was too "wry and perverted." What's interesting to
me is that in general I have no specific idea as to what I want my
paintings to mean or say to anybody. I think of them rather as
"Rorschach Tests" that people interpret according to their own
temperaments and inclinations. So maybe it isn't the paintings that
are perverse but rather the people who censored them?
CAL STRS Gallery, 7667 Folsom Blvd. Sacramento, CA 95851
April 12 - June 30th
