My newest exhibition is currently on display at the Durham Art Guild until May 27th, 2012. The opening reception is this Friday, April 20th from 5:30-7:30. Afterwards I’ll be at my studio in Golden Belt until 9:00 for the remainder of 3rd Friday.

I’ll be showing with three other artists at the DAG during this same period: Kelly Cross, Linwood Hart and sculptor Renee Leverty.

NC Museum of Art – exhibition installation

I spent a week at the museum helping install the current exhibit by El Anatsui – one of contemporary art’s most celebrated practitioners—from his early woodwork in Ghana to today’s metal wall sculptures created in his studio in Nigeria. It is always fun to work with everyone at the museum. I’ll be back in July to pack up the show. I’m glad because it pays well!

I remember this piece being especially heavy! That’s me in the cool shirt.

This piece consisted of around 1,200 boxes that had to be specifically placed. There were many changes that had to be made in the layout. Crazy! I’m the one with the beard.

NBC exposure

This painting was featured on the local NBC program “My Carolina Today” a/k/a “Chick Chat” on Jan.31, 2012 . It aired immediately after the “Today” show. They introduced the painting, asked if I worked for Dr. Seuss (?) and announced the opening of my solo exhibition at Art Space. I would like to thank Art Space for making this happen!!

“The Fusion Confusion Illusion“
acrylic on linen, 18×18 in.

This is the link to the previously mentioned program. NBC- My Carolina Today WARNING! This show is painfully cheesy so you can skip past the first 63 seconds to get to the 48 second clip about the painting. If you love cheesy shows then you’re in for a special treat! I’m not complaining though. It was great exposure and the painting remained on the set for a week!
