A Little Perspective, 2026

NEW IN THE STUDIO

I’ve been getting small lately! The little paintings I started making last fall have been a lot of fun. I’m finding that the more I create, the more ideas I have for additional things I want to create. Here’s a few of the most recents ones. Stop by the studio for what’s available!

LITTLE NOTEBOOKS

Another small thing that’s been really fun are these hand-painted editions of little notebooks. It’s like a little painting you can stick in your pocket and take with you. It’s fun to touch and absolutely one of a kind. Available in studio while they last!

Come Visit the Hot Shops!

Located just north of the downtown stadium, the Hot Shops welcomes you to this vibrant and growing neighborhood. Enjoy checking out some art, talking to artists, and seeing what it’s like in working Artists’ studios!

Swing by Studio 108 on the first floor across from the Pottery studio and see if we’re there. I share the space with my wife Jill Rizzo. Though our “regular” hours are quite irregular, we do try to get as much studio time in as we can.

Drop me a note on my contact page if you’d like to coordinate a visit, or catch us on Art Fluid / Open Studio nights and at our Winter and Spring open house events!
