Welcome to my new art diary. As an artist living and exhibiting in New York, I run around a lot, see a lot of shows, work in my studio, talk to other artists, that kind of thing. I sometimes don't even realize how much my life revolves around art. So...

On view at the Parrish Art Museum is its second juried Artists Choose Artists exhibition, wherein seven well-established East End artists each choose two lesser-known East End artists from a pool of 200 submissions. This year's jury included Alice Aycock, Ross Bleckner, Dan Rizzle, Matthew Satz, Gary Simmons, Agathe Snow...

There is a fantastic group show at Paul Kasmin Gallery in Chelsea, organized by Eric Parker and KAWS. In addition to the curators, artists include Todd James, Tony Matelli, Joyce Pensato, Peter Saul and Karl Wirsum. This show kept surprising me. What first grabbed me were the big-color, cartoon and...

This past Saturday I dragged myself off the beach in Montauk, to throw on a suitably Hamptons outfit and attend the annual Parrish Art Museum Midsummer Party. This year's party honored the Founding Partners of the museum, individuals and foundations largely responsible for funding the highly anticipated new Herzog &...

In town to promote his new yoga DVD, "The Blissology Project: Yoga, Meditation and Lifestyle," Canadian yoga teacher and, yes, Blissologist, Eoin Finn found time to sit down with me to talk about yoga and surfing. Surprisingly, I also learned about Joseph Campbell and Japanese real estate.

Too tired and cold to trek out to 12th and 55th street or not in New York at all? Not to worry, I cabbed it over there yesterday and culled my favorite pieces for your enjoyment. What do these all have in common? My terrible job of photographing them. Hence,...

There is a great blog on the Huff Post by John Seed about California artists' palettes. Not to be out done by the left coast, I've gathered a bunch of east coast palettes together. Let's call it a Dance-Off. Palettes are delicious things, whether they are full of...

Don Christensen has a gorgeous show of large, hard edge abstract paintings up in Williamsburg in Brooklyn at Sideshow gallery. From Kenneth Noland to the Contortions and back again, here's a sample of the wide-ranging talk we had.

Liz: I love the paintings in the show. It's a lot of...

The other day I went up to Greenwich, Connecticut to see the Urs Fischer show at The Brant Foundation Art Study Center. I had missed his exhibition at the New Museum but liked the photos of it, so I was excited to see some work in person.

Location, location, location...in...

Last night I hopped around to some openings. Here are a few standout shows.

I love the Ragnar Kjartansson show at Lurhing Augustine. 144 paintings, one made per each day of the 2009 Venice Biennale where he represented Iceland. Colorful, fun paintings of a thin man wearing a black speedo...

After grad school I moved back to New York and found a place to live and work, which I arranged as a large studio and a small living space. Then when everything was in its right place, I quickly got down to not painting. I told myself I would paint...

When I got out of grad school, I started a career in motion graphics and web design to support myself until, I hoped, my paintings could support me. I felt it was important that people who hired me to design didn't know I was an artist, lest they think me...

Well, not so much see as talk to them. Am I the only one or do other artists "invite" the souls of dead artists to hang with them in the studio? It's not that I issue a formal invitation or conduct a séance, It's more that I just start talking...
