Thank you Brian Joiner for inviting to be apart of your league of creative visionaries in the Chocolate Exhibition at Prairie Gallery. Once again you challenged me to not only think outside the box but to pull from the sensuality that the subject matter(chocolate) already evokes to the senses. Along with the work of Gustav Klimpt and Alphonse Mucha you have once again inspired me. A portion of proceeds from the exhibition’s sales benefit the Taft Museum of Art’s Duncanson Society.

My Summer in Kennedy Heights
This past summer I had the pleasure of being the teaching artist for painting and drawing at the Kennedy Height Arts Center (KHAC) Camp Create Summer camp. For four weeks I along with Bet Stewart (drama instructor), Baba Charles (music instructor), Natalie Hager (photography instructor) and camp director John Cooper, gave the kids of the camp an artistic experience they would never forget. The real joy of the experience was having the students visit my studio in Over- the- Rhine Cincinnati where we toured some of the sights that inspire my recent paintings and drawings. The students along with one of the apprentices from the Raymond Thunder Sky legacy Mural, Bryn Sharp, assisted me with the Kennedy Heights Neighborhood Harmony Piano for the “Play Me I’m yours” project. Shortly after my four weeks at Camp Create, I along with Xavier intern Catherine Stahl, shared some of lessons I taught earlier that summer to the children at Hilltop Apartments in Kennedy Heights. My Hilltop class also visited my studio and had the opportunity to visit some of the galleries on Main Street. This was a very rewarding summer for me as well as the students I taught. I just started a new class at Hilltop Apartments for the fall and I’m currently teaching a drawing and painting class at the Kennedy Heights Art Center.
