First Show, W10th Street

In early 2002 I became Art Zen’s first featured artist. Proximity helped. The gallery was on my block.

That’s my art in the window.

Working with Lily was a blast. For the opening at the gallery I did up shoes for her to wear, pictured below.

That’s my dad visiting the gallery and my work on the wall.

The gallery opened shortly before 9/11.

In this piece the top of a World Trade Center building explodes green, life springs. A pyramid is in the distance, and the sun is red. I started painting red suns after 9/11. Felt right. This was the first piece I showed in the gallery.

WE ARE THE TOWERS THAT REMAIN. TO GROW, TO LOVE, TO CHERISH LIVING IS OUR CALL TO ARMS.     EGS ’01

We Are The Towers That Remain now hangs in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
