Opening June 6th in conjunction with the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts is Images, a juried mid-Atlantic regional exhibition for fine art. It’s an honor, to have my work in this nationally recognized exhibition showcasing the work of emerging and established artists. The exhibition will be at the Robeson Gallery in Pennsylvania State University. Opening reception is June 8th and the exhibition will run through July 15th.
The Black Creativity annual juried exhibition is one of the longest running events at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. The exhibition features over 100 works of art from artists around the globe, and I was awarded second place. The exhibition opens January 25th and continues through February 29th.
Myself along with painters Beth Goldstein and Mary Barr Rhoads will be featured together in the exhibition Transformation: Interpretation of Space and Place. The physical environment of the inner city and the dense architectonic shapes which reference musical allegories and all over pictorial rhythm are a consistent theme in my work. Complimenting the theme of the exhibition, I will present a compilation of paintings that I have completed over the past two to three years. Though the subject matter and intent remains the same in these works, there is a shift with how space and place with my subjects is interpreted. To find out more information about this exhibition go to its event page in facebook.
December 4th of 2010, I was apart of the Holiday Extravaganza event at the Cincinnati Art Museum called Magical Music. I engaged Museumgoers about my work and its relation to music. For one day I can say that I was in the Cincinnati Wing of the Cincinnati Art Museum.
On November 9th of 2010, Arts Wave invited me as a guest artist to be apart of their Board Member Training Class. It was a pleasure to meet and talk with potential board members who were graduating in to Cincinnati’s premier art organizations. In addition to sharing with the group my experience in art education and its services to diverse communities, I engaged the class with the interactive magnetic quilt project, which originated from one of my lessons from Contemporary Connection at the Contemporary Arts Center. Thank you Arts Wave for inviting me and my magnets.
