I am very proud to announce my new exhibition Siegfried’s Sonata at the PAC Gallery. In this new body of work, I’ve expanded my interpretation of place with pieces that are inspired by the atmospheric and luminous qualities of nature. The opening reception for this exhibition will be on Friday November 9th from 6 – 9pm. The show will run through December 8th and I will have a gallery talk on November 15th at 7pm at the PAC Gallery. You can RSVP to the opening reception on facebook. I hope to see all of you at the show.

Come down to the Contemporary Arts Center’S UnMuseum and check out the interactive City Creations piece. City Creations was one of the paintings I had on exhibit at the Contemporary Arts Center which was apart of the Soul within Structure exhibition. Long after the exhibition, Museum goers are still interacting with the work. I recently added newer parts to this magnetic jigsaw puzzle where viewers can interact with the art by rearranging geometric architectonic shapes and recreate another work of art with each adjustment. Kennedy Heights Arts Center campers from Hilltop apartments recently visited the CAC’s Unmuseum and had a go at the newly improved City creations pice. Click below to see them in action.

For the past three weeks I have had the privilege of working with a the artist/campers of the Kennedy Heights Arts Center on painting a mural on the tool shed of Gabriel’s Place in the community of Avondale.  My self along with campers, Mycah Faison, Jade Colon, Kaitlyn Jones, Jayla Stricklen, Freddie Cocheron, CC Roberts, Evan Hodnett, Haley Harper, Brendel Stadler, Miles Blenman, Micayah Smith, Allie O’ Malley, Alex Wilson, with former ArtWorks apprentices Isaac Walker and Bryn Sharp with Art Institute of Chicago intern Leah Ransohoff-Englert,  painted rain and shine on this work of art that celebrates Gabriel’s mission to provide a safe and nourishing gathering place for the Avondale community.  The first week we designed, the second week we painted and the third week we battled with the elements to complete the work and when we looked upon what we created, we saw that it was good. Thank you Gabriel’s Place for the inviting us to make great art and most of all thank you Kennedy Heights Arts Center campers for making their garden glow. You are truly great and I was truly blessed to work with such a great team! To learn more about Gabriel’s Place follow this link.
