“SELF-EVIDENT” /
Stop by the Baber Room Gallery at Central Michigan University to see my new solo exhibition, up now through October 6, 2022. An Artist Talk and Closing Reception is scheduled for Thursday, September 29 at 7pm… see you there!
OPEN STUDIOS /
There will be an area-wide open studios event Friday July 15, 16 and 17. 333 Midland studios will be participating, studios will be open Friday 12pm-10pm. My door will be open 5pm-10pm, feel free to stop by and see my new paintings in progress!
NATURE /
I curated “NATURE”, the current group exhibit at the Cass Cafe- a longtime favorite art bar and restaurant located in Midtown Detroit. Twenty artists explore the theme of nature- from traditional to expressive approaches, and to its political, philosophical and spiritual implications.
Open Life Drawing /
I got to catch up with the Open Life Drawing group at the Russell Industrial Center, and spent time doing one of my absolute favorite activities… you guessed it- Figure Drawing!! These were all drawn on an iPad Pro using Procreate.
2021 and Done /
On December 30, I had a small get together at my studio where I invited everyone to take turns painting a few brushstrokes on a 72” x 60” canvas on the wall. Four hours later, a painting was born! A special thank you to Livv and Emilia Nawrocki for capturing these images and contributing to the painting!
Figure Cast /
For the first time since art school twenty years ago, I made a mold from my clay figure sculpture and cast it in another material. This piece, titled “COVID Defensive” is on display in the “INCOMPLETE” exhibition at the Scarab Club through November 17, 2021
