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.

Ozark Foothills Filmfest Branding 2014

This year I was lucky enough to do the branding for the 2014 Ozark Foothills FilmFest. The barn picture used was taken by me in Minnesota; originally a daytime picture, it was digitally altered to be illuminated by the moon.
