Beautiful Demolition: Explosions and Other Destructive Forces from Otherworldly Sources

Happy New Year and New Shows and New Art!

My actual New Year celebration consisted of me hunched over on the floor painting and drawing and Jaron asking me how many minutes before midnight he should tell me to get ready to countdown. It ended up being 4 minutes...but I only stood up for 30 seconds, kissed him and went back to work. So, these additions to the show are actually work from 2012!

A Change of Climate - Group Show

Tonight I'm hopping a bus to the city, painting in tow, for a group show curated by artist and real estate professional Mary Mihelic. This group show is taking place in a vacant space donated by Blue Source. Showing art in up-for-grabs real estate is a great way to get the attention of hundreds of potential buyers. It's good for the owners, good for the artists and good for the buyer. I love win-win-win situations.

Art All Night!

Lawrenceville hosted a super fun event this year which I was lucky enough to participate in in three ways. It was the 14th annual Art All Night event with uncensored art and performance and kid friendly activities and take aways.

I had fun live action painting with my new friend Rose Clancy. Our collaborative effort (behind us in the photo below) turned out pretty well. It will displayed around Pittsburgh in a traveling exhibit offshoot from the event. Check out Rose's work at the Mattress Factory.


Sarah Banach and I collaborated through our collective Pssst!



And my ink drawing "Rise" was also exhibited. It was a great night of family, friends, and art.
