The city of Seattle recently purchased one of my paintings for it's permanent public collection. It was an open call to mid-career artists in Oregon and Washington. "So Long Sam" was the only work purchased from Oregon! Hopefully I wasn't the only one who applied......

Soul Recovery Systems has received a grant to create an installation for the Portland Building in downtown Portland, Oregon. We are very excited to have been given the opportunity to bring our services to the public realm. It happens in September 2010 so get ready!

Michael T. Hensley and Felicity Fenton aka Evelove Glimourous will be showing collaborative paintings at Milepost 5 out at 900 NE 81st Ave, Portland, OR

There will be 100 artists showing in what appears to be an old nursing home. Lots of rooms and lot's of goings on. It runs from August 14th thru the 24th. Openings will be on the first Friday and Saturday.

So bring your eyes and spectacles and prepare to be transformatted.
