Still at Southside Gallery

 

This past Friday was the opening reception for my first solo show with Southside Gallery. Thank you so much to Wil Cook and the Southside team for the warm welcome and lovely reception! The gallery is absolutely beautiful, and everyone I met was so kind. There are about 50 new paintings in the show; take a look at some of the pieces below or, if you're nearby, head over to Oxford, MS and see it in person. The show is up through May 27th.

Installation Photos at Earlham College

 

Thanks for walking through my two-person show with Lauren Darrouzet at Earlham College. This was so fun to put together - I love seeing the visual connections between her metalwork and my paintings. The colors and shapes harmonize so interestingly in the gallery.

I've been documenting and retouching a set of recent paintings, in preparation for an upcoming solo show this May. Here's a sneak peek at three of my current favorites. Enjoy!

These four pieces will be on display at Southside Gallery for the month of December in their Blue Christmas exhibition. If you're near Oxford, MS, please stop by! I'm delighted to be part of this group show and especially happy to have the chance to show these new paintings.

I'm working on a new body of work for a solo show with Southside next May, and I can't wait to share that work with all of you. Exciting things are happening in the studio! We're scaling up... and down... playing with new color palettes and old favorites... and exploring some new and challenging subject matter. 

In the meantime, I wish you all safe holidays full of joy and peace. See you in the new year.
