Rounder Studio has Moved to Historic Steinfeld Warehouse Tucson

Together with Greta Ward, I have set up Rounder Studio's workspace in the historic Steinfeld Warehouse at 101 W. 6th Street (at 9th Avenue) in Tucson, Arizona. We will be showing our work at the Tucson Artists' Open Studios May 14-15 and 21-22 from 11:00a--5:00p. Please come on by.

From a new series "A Terrible Beauty," Nancy Charak artist, 8"x8" watercolor, graphite on clayboard.

I am working on a number of projects for exhibition and sale near and far, in Chicago at The Nevica Project, a commission for a local Tucson collector, work for the Tucson Artists' Open Studios (Saturday and Sunday May 14-15 and May 21-22, 11:00a--5:00p), and for an art consultant to the hospitality industry.

Artist of the Day: Emily Rapport

My artist of the day is Emily Rapport. She makes paint reflect light. Her work is part of the reason I miss Chicago and my old neighborhood of Ravenswood.

Artist of the Day: Diane McGregor

It is always a pleasure to see Diane McGregor's work. It was a pleasant shock, nonetheless, to see her new direction. I had always thought of Diane as a master of grids. We have corresponded about her fascination with and the philosophical underpinning of hers and Agnes Martin's work.

Diane took a leap into the unknown, which is what we artists must always do. Diane, like my friend, Greta Ward, learned about working with cold wax from Rebecca Crowell.

You can read further how Diane McGregor came to these new images and direction.
