Here's my little painting for "Little Big" at the new Haven Gallery.  The show boasts a fantastic lineup of artists creating small works of art, 8 inches and tinier.

For my piece I wanted to concentrate on the concept of consecrating a talisman; the act of making an object sacred, and charging it with power.  I also wanted to touch upon the idea of secrets, and the mysteries hidden from view, especially those secrets we keep from ourselves in our own minds.

I was able to attend the opening reception!

Here's me with my little fox, who was in great company with all the lovely works.  To the right of my painting is "Sentinel" by Michael Ramstead, behind my head is Lea Barozzi, and to the left of that is Kindra Nikole and "In The West" by Kaspian Shore.

Here's a great shot courtesy of the gallery photographer of the owners, and several of us that have work in the show.  Starting on the right are owners Erica Berkowitz and Joseph Weinreb, Janet A Cook, Erich J. Moffitt, Jean Pierre Arboleda, Hannah Faith Yata and myself.
