Gallery Opening: Stories from the Shadows

Event Date: 
Thursday, January 30, 2020
Time: 
7:00pm - 9:00pm

‘Stories from the Shadows’ is a compilation of photos taken during my time working at The Free Press, from 2016 to 2019.

The title of the gallery represents a characteristic that all chosen subjects share – humility. Inspired by them, I brought their stories out of the shadows and in turn, allowed others the chance to be inspired as well.

These people are humble folk, and do not live to boast about their accomplishments. For this I respect them greatly.

Streaking for Art’s Sake

Posted: 
Jan 15, 2020

I love my creative life—I wake up in the morning, make coffee, help the kids out the door to school, and at that moment the routine in my life ends. For the rest of the day, I could be setting some type for a new poster, carving a block for a print commission, working on paintings for a solo show, or putting together an application for a future public art call.

The Art of Holiday Survival

Posted: 
Dec 15, 2019

As an artist, the holiday season is so vital to my survival that I want to have it all ready. For many artists, more than half of the revenue we generate comes from sales in November and December—driven by art markets and gift sales for the holiday season.

Paving with Good Intentions

Posted: 
Nov 10, 2019

It takes a long, long time and many discouraging moments to get to the point where you feel comfortable calling yourself an artist out loud and in public. When creative types get together and talk about our craft, we tend to be quite self-deprecating.
