This Friday, August 3rd, I will be holding a reception for my first solo show at the Lichtenstein Center for the Arts! Although I have had many solo shows in the past, none have been in a space quite this large. In preparation, I have made several new large scale paintings to fit the beautiful venue. As I am hoping to see many new faces at this reception, I will be giving a brief introduction to my work as part of the opening. The talk will start at 5:30pm, August 3rd, and I will be available the rest of the reception if anyone wants to ask questions one on one. If you cannot make the reception, the show will be on display from August 1st through August 31st, so make sure to stop in.

Going Public!
After a year of planning, and painting, I am proud to announce my latest solo show on display at PUBLIC Eat + Drink. The show is on display from December, 2017, to April, 2018. PUBLIC is a fantastic restaurant located just down the street from Mass MoCA with beautiful brick walls to hang on. Stop by, have some food, and feed your soul with the latest of my oil paintings.
For this show I completed six new, two foot square, paintings making the main dining area a large cohesive exhibit. The square format is a difficult one to balance and I used this notion as a challenge in creating each of these works of art. I am proud to be a part of PUBLIC and prouder of the latest creations born of this opportunity. Please check out the exhibit and let me know what you think about the new work.
Not enough to get you out to North Adams? Well, this establishment had plenty of space for more work so filling out the space are selections from past exhibits including older oil paintings as well as pastel and silver pen drawings. As always, all work is for sale!
