A small portion of my new installation, Infinite, will be featured in an invitational exhibition at ArtWorks in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Each artist was to submit a song that inspires them in some way while making art in general or the exhibited piece specifically. During the opening reception, the Laurenzi Dance company will be performing an interpretive piece based on the music. The music will be played as a backdrop to the exhibition for the rest of the time it is displayed.

The show runs from August 1 until September 5 and the reception is on August 8 from 6 pm-9pm.

I started a new series of drawings inspired by light coming through the trees onto my studio floor while I was a resident at the Vermont Studio Center. My first drawing of this series is in an invitational exhibition at McNeese State University in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The piece, called Passing Through, is a charcoal drawing and is 22″ x 30″.

The premise of this exhibition was for the curator to pick a variety of art professors from around the US. In turn, each professor had to pick three of their past students to be included in the exhibition also. Doug DeVinny was my professor in the exhibit and his influence still comes through in my work.

The exhibition is at the Abercrombie Gallery, Shearman Fine Arts Center, McNeese State University from July 8 until August 21.
