Looking forward to showing with my fellow teachers in the upcoming OSU Dept of Art faculty show! I’ll be exhibiting two of my abstract diptychs: “Stage” and “Interior W/ 2-Inch Gap.”

Sketches for additions to my “Front” series of paintings. I thought I was done with this series, but seeing them all together in the “Head Count” show at Sean Christopher Gallery in Columbus, OH has inspired me to make more! We’re having a mid-exhibition reception on October 4th from 4 to 8 pm. 👍😊
