Chree Journeys at the SAAC Gallery

I am thrilled to invite you to experience my latest exhibition, “Chree Journeys,” at the South Arkansas Arts Center (SAAC) Lobby Gallery from July 27 to September 5, 2024. This series, inspired by the symbiotic connection between trees and chairs, explores the dynamic interplay between our grounded existence and the boundless growth of our thoughts. Each piece serves as a visual metaphor for the human thought process, where trees symbolize adaptability and resilience, and chairs represent the structured nature of our memories.

Join me at the artist’s reception on Saturday, July 27, from 6:00-7:30 pm, held in conjunction with Gary and Christopher Bachers’ reception. I am excited to share this journey with you, and I hope my work will evoke a sense of wonder and introspection.

The SAAC gallery exhibits are free and open to the public from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday.

DNSPE 2024 Print Symposium Print Exchange

I’m pleased to share that I recently took part in the pop-up alumni print exchange during the DNSPE 2024 Print Symposium Print Exchange, which ran from May 14 to July 20, 2024. This pop-up show was a special tribute to the collaboration between the University of Tennessee Knoxville and alumni artists from Arkansas State University. It featured an exciting display of exchanged prints in the passage connecting the Bradbury Art Museum and the Fowler Center theaters. Being part of this event was a wonderful experience, allowing me to showcase my work alongside fellow artists and celebrate the vibrant printmaking communities at both institutions.
