These are a Few of Our Favorite Things

I have Four paintings in "These are a Few of Our Favorite Things" at Fox Tax. Make sure to check it out!



On View: December 3 – Jan 7th

Opening Reception: Saturday December 11, 6-10 pm

The Gallery at Fox Tax is proud to announce a new exhibit entitled These are a Few of Our Favorite Things. For this holiday exhibit, owners Mark and Alyssa Fox, along with regular curator Emma Berg of MPLSART.com, each pick 10 of their favorite artists and create their own salon style collage that highlights both the depth and variety of local artistic talent as well as their own personal tastes as curators and collectors.

As part of the Holiday reception artists have also donated a work of art that will be sold gift-wrapped and sight unseen for $100 each. Proceeds of purchased gift wrapped pieces will be going directly to a charity of the artists’ choosing, creating both a way to give back to the community and to further a main mission of the Gallery at Fox Tax: to encourage art collecting and ensure it is viewed as something attainable and affordable to anyone with an interest in art.

Swell society B4BC wrapup

On Thursday July 9th Swell Society hosted the Boarding for Breast Cancer poolside fashion show at the Calhoun Beach club. The weather was less then perfect and tried to literally rain on our parade, thankfully though the rain held up and the show was amazing. The models rocked some legit gear, the tunes were banging and the silent auction of lots of merchandise helped to raise money for breast cancer research. Quiksiler was in town with some of the coolest dudes I've had the honor of showing around town and came to the event. The night was one of the highlights of my young art career and a total blast!

Me and my buddy chuck aka charles mossey were there doing a live painting, we prepared the week before by working in my studio and doing many preliminary sketches, after many failed attempts we both agreed on an idea and composition that we liked. We wanted something elegant but also contemporary and fun, something we wanted to enjoy painting but also created visual awareness to breast cancer, or at least tie breast cancer into the piece.

All in all the night was a blast and the live painting went well, even though me and chuck were both a little anxious being that we had never done a live painting in front of a large group.

I also painted a bust that was auctioned of in the silent auction and my good friend Jesse Draxler did as well.

Here are the photos from the night, it is a mini photo documentary of one of my favorite nights of this summer so far.
