Drawing Center Viewing Program!

yes!
Last month right when things got a little nutty around here I found out I was accepted into the Drawing Center's Viewing Program.
It's a curated slide registry based out of New York, that I've been looking at for years. I'm pretty excited to have my work paired with such other incredible drawers from around the country.

Team Baltimore!

Once More with Spirit!


This Thursday my flags for the ideas of cute, fun, festive, and romantic if those ideas were countries are making their Baltimore Debut as a part of SIGN LANGUAGE at the Whole Gallery in the H+H.



according to the press release:

" Some artists in Sign Language use play to communicate important information, and still others use flags to give weight to seemingly frivolous ideas. Each work takes a particular stand and reminds us that the very gesture of art making is radical."

Using flags to give weight to seemingly frivolous ideas! That's me!

Curated by Hannah Brancato and Jessie Unterhalter, Sign Language includes works by 40 artists and groups from Baltimore and beyond.

The show will be at the Whole Gallery

H and H building

405 W. Franklin St, 3rd floor

June 17th-July 19th with an opening reception on June 17th from 7-9pm.
