I am pleased to announce my affiliation with Gallery Sam of Berkeley California. This gallery has been dealing beautiful fine art in Northern California for 16 years. Mainly focusing on abstraction from the post WWII, Aboriginal Australian, Indian, European, American and contemporary paintings and sculptures.
I was thrilled to have selected for show 5 works from my ‘Moon Over Waves’ series at the international art fair artMRKT in San Francisco in May 2013, and again a large ‘Moon Over Waves’ painting will be shown in July 2013 at artMRKT HAMPTONS in New York.
One of my painted sketchbooks, entitled ATLAS:2013, was included and is now viewable online through the New York-based Art House’s ‘Sketchbook Project: 2013’. If you are in New York, stop by their library space to see it in person. This year’s projects will be touring the U.S. later this year.

Please join me on the 17th between 6:30-8:30 for tea and light refreshments at the Artist’s Reception.
Bay Area contemporary artists Russell Pachman, Justyn Zolli, and Julien Lallemand will present their latest explorations into the medium of printmaking, including etchings, drypoint, aquatint and monotype. This exhibit will be open to the public on Jan. 7th, and afterwards by appointment. Please contact Justyn Zolli to make arrangements.
This blog, my second foray into this medium, will serve as a new endeavor into sharing my work, photography and writings. Here I will attempt to bring together the areas of interest that inform my work, namely Ecology, Organic Design, Environmentalism, and their expression in the Visual Arts. I will frequently post photographs from my treks into National Parks, Preserves, and other wilderness regions, as well as paintings, drawings and applied arts that are inspired by my researches into Nature.
I hope to reach a wide audience and be able to share my research and artistic projects with an interested audience, and ultimately to encourage and inform others as to the great beauty and fragility of our Earth.
