I was featured today on a great project, 365 Artists/365 Days.

My solo show, Storms and Snarls is up this month at the Evelyn E. Jorgenson Gallery, at Moberly Community College. They did a fantastic job hanging my work, and I am so grateful to everyone there that facilitated this show. See some pictures and like their gallery here.

I'm involved in several events and exhibitions this November.
I will be presenting a paper, "The Investigative Mark" at the annual SECAC conference in Greensboro, NC as part of a panel on contemporary drawing.

My solo show, Storms and Snarls, will be exhibited at Moberly Community College, in Moberly, MO.

I am also exhibiting a work in St. Louis, MO at Mad Art Gallery, in the invitational Poetry Scores exhibition, featuring work inspired by Anne Sexton's poem, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves".

I am happy to have a few pieces in E(labor)ated Surfaces, curated by Herb Rieth at the Ground Floor Gallery in Nashville, TN for the month of September. The opening is September 7, from 6-9 for anyone in Nashville that would like to attend.

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.
