The Pittsburgh Left - sneak peek!

For the past few months, I've been painting away in preparation for The Pittsburgh Left showing, and it's all starting to come together! The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust announced the showing the other day, and I'm honored that they chose my piece to display on their front page. For more information on the showing, visit: https://trustarts.org/exhibit/23712-2022/the-pittsburgh-left

I also want to give Tom Sarver a special thanks for putting this exhibit together and giving me the opportunity to be a part of it. Tom has been a great help and mentor along the way.

New Work - "Dysmorphia" Progress Pics

Several years ago, I started a piece to express my frustrations with my body image. At the time, I was struggling with an eating disorder. I harshly critiqued my body no matter how much weight I lost. About a month ago, I found the unfinished piece in one of my portfolio bags and I decided that I was going to restart the piece and this time complete it.

Below are some progress pictures of Dysmorphia.

Revisiting this piece is inspiring me to start a series on Body Image, or maybe even expand the issue to Insecurities. Stay tuned!
