It’s been 6 years since my paintings have been presented in a solo exhibition in my home town. Though a global pandemic has surely thrown a wrench into the machinery, time moves strangely. It doesn’t seem like its been that long! However, the progression of my work belies that intuition and will appear starkly different from the abstract work I made in the past. My current oil paintings and works on paper focus on landscape and the ways we project ourselves onto the world outside. Through subtle color shifts and invented forms, these dreamscapes underscore the beauty and pathos of being alive within the context of our relationships to one another and the environment we share.

I’m excited to announce my upcoming solo exhibition, Violet Hour, with Abattoir Gallery in the Clark Fulton District of Cleveland. The exhibition opens with a reception on Saturday, April 22nd (Earth Day!), from 6-8pm, and runs through May 27th. Many thanks to Lisa and Rose for the care and time they’ve given to me throughout this process. We all hope you can visit us and look forward to spending time with you in the gallery!
