I am very pleased to have been invited to publish a series of prints at Pele Prints, in St. Louis. I will be working furiously for a couple of days next week. Images of our results will be forthcoming.

Friday, May 4th at Fluorescent Gallery, the artists of 17th Street Studios will present recent work. Join us for the reception from 7-10pm. Fluorescent Gallery is located at 627 N. Central, Knoxville.

For the second year, I am participating in The Salvage Show, benefiting Knox Heritage. This great organization, promoting historical homes in Knoxville, also sells architectural salvage, and once a year, asks artists and designers to re-purpose said salvage into new art and design. It promises to be a good one! Come check out the wares on Friday April 6, from 6-9 pm on the 2nd Floor of 36 Market Square.
