Many Lands

I am happy to be included in an exhibition titled Many Lands, curated by Ben Gannon at Bridge Productions. The exhibit runs from January 11 through February 4 with a reception on January 14 from 6 - 9 pm.. This show is an attempt to situate abstract and abstracted landscape artworks together in the context of “world-building”. Historically, this idea takes place in science fiction and fantasy writing as mythopoetic works, but also potentially inhabitable material spaces. This connecting thread fosters connections between genres and styles in contemporary mark making, and between the speculative media of contemporary art and genre fiction. Bridge Productions is located on the 2nd floor of Hamilton Work Studios at 6007 12th Ave S., Seattle, WA 98108

Welcome to my new Website!

After wanting to have a website I can keep up and update myself, I've finally gone and done it. It has been a trying couple of days but it's up and running. Please take a look and let me know what you think but don't be too harsh. I'm much better at making art than I am at making websites. Thank you!
