FINDING SPACE & OTHER STORIES | Featured Artist Evanston Art Center

I am honored to be a Featured Artist at the esteemed Evanston Art Center where I will be exhibiting a brand new collection of mixed media works never shown before.

Opening Reception: Sunday, July 7, 1-4pm —- Artist Talk at 2:30pm

The collection will be on view July 6-28.

“Finding Space & Other Stories” is a collection of 16 mixed media assemblages in my on-going examination of the societal state of the “house and home” – and beyond. The collection explores having to leave home and witnessing one’s past amidst a backdrop of intercontinental migration, massive pollution from plastics overuse, and global political unrest. The search for belonging is a central theme. Individual pieces, still part of the larger set, present their own story and content.

The collection includes wood applications, vintage toy constructions, CNC carved figurines and wall-dependent reliefs, 3D printed plastics, recyclables, graphite grawings, painted environments on canvas, and unique artist-made frames.

I will be at the Art Center weekends Saturdays & Sundays 1-4pm through July 28 to meet-and-greet with visitors and hope to see you.

Gallery Hours: M-Th 9am-10pm, F 9am-6pm, Sa/Su 9am-4pm

Opening Reception: Friday, August 25, 5-730pm

On view through September 21.

If you cannot attend the opening, the gallery is open daily during normal school hours. Check the times listed on their website.

Cristina and I have been in numerous shows together, and with the addition of Taehoon’s works, this will be an incredible and complex show. So, make a date to visit the gallery and see what we have been up to.

I am pleased to announce that my work "Marmalade Sky" has been juried into this exciting and unique show.

Opening Reception: Friday, September 15, 5-7pm

On View: August 18 - October 28, 2023

Technology as a creative medium has a long rich partnership with the visual arts. As technology continues to change so does the definition of technology as a medium. This constant state of change pushes and pulls at the boundaries of art.

This show seeks to highlight artwork that is made using ‘technology’ as a tool or medium for the artwork. This includes but is not limited to graphic design, digital photography, 3D printers, NFTs, video art, CNC cut or laser cut materials, web content, and much more.
