I am delighted to say that I’ll have several pieces at the Bath Hollow Art Fest on October 12, 2019. Held in the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley, this is a new event at Bath Hollow Farm. Designed to connect artists with the community in a natural setting, the event will have an art gallery plus music […]
Excavate. Investigate. Re-create. In this exhibit titled Reverse Archaeology, my friend Shannon Casey and I have created a series of artworks to explore layers of time and memory. Those themes have reoccurred in our artwork over the past few years and we wanted to delve further into them. We call this exhibit Reverse Archaeology because […]
