In conjunction with the art apprenticeship program at Thomas More College, the exhibition Spherical Perspectives will feature works by myself and Thomas More Junior Art Major Ben Kleier.  It was a pleasure working with Ben in my studio. His Insight and suggestions helped shape the outcome of some of my favorite paintings with in the past year.  As artists we are both involved in interpreting space and environment in our work.  A common ground is drawn in our interest in collaboration and exploration of differing genres in art as a source of inspiration.  Though this show will feature works that capture the outcome of our creative journeys, the exhibition will also share how Ben and I use similar planing techniques to get to the final conclusion.  Daytime opening reception for students and faculty will be on Tuesday March 3rd from 12 to 2pm at the Eva G. Farris gallery at Thomas More. The artist talk will be from 2:15pm –  3pm and the Evening opening will run from 4pm  – 7pm. The exhibition will continue through March 20th, 2015.

It is an honor to have my artwork featured at the UC Health Woman’s Center Art Exhibition.  It is even a greater honor to be featured in the article Healing Through Art, on the UC Health website.  I would like to thank the curator of the exhibition Melissa Mitchell and the director of the center Dr. Lisa Larkin for recognizing the arts and its power to heal. For this exhibition I focused on the universal theme of art being used to heal the spirit and mind.  From peace of mind, good health, empowerment, courage and perseverance, we can create physical and social change. Whether a work of art reminds us of a safe place or can turn sorrow to joy, art changes lives.  When I walked in UC Health Woman’s Center I saw works of art that did this, and I know this will do the same for many others.
