I have been asked to produce a print for the 2014 Contemporary American Theater Festival at Shepherd University in West Virginia where I will be participating in a printmaking workshop in the Department of Art in July. A series of my pyrographs will be displayed in a group exhibition at the Festival.

I currently have an exhibition in the DeLuce Gallery at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Mo.
The works are all pyrographs from 2001 through 2013. Here is an image of recent work.
The exhibit will be up through Sunday November 17.

I have had a recent exhibition with artist, Jung A. Woo, at Cara y Cabezas Contemporary, I Am An American!
We are exploring the cacophonous nature of democracy and Jung A’s work engages the sense of immigration/global migration in the American landscape.
Here are a couple of images of my piece, Untitled (flag) . It is made of thousands of thorns from the honey locust tree
and is approximately 7′ x 12′. While I was influenced by the contentious political environment during the 2012 election, others have referenced painful
aspects of American history, and still other viewers have regarded the piece as a comment on the infusion of religion into political life.

I am very exited about this new piece that I recently installed. It is a commission for a private collector. It is made of honey locust thorns and is approximately 9′ x 30″. I think of this as a kind of landscape informed by my artist residency at Youkobo in Tokyo.

This spring I had two pieces in an exhibition at Cara and Cabezas Contemporary, a gallery in Kansas City.
They have an intern who periodically writes a blog entry about some of the work.
Here’s a link to the piece that Hallie wrote about my works

This is my contribution to the Change The Truth Foundation fundraiser on June 24. Gloria Baker Feinstein, a friend and wonderful photographer, started this foundation in support of the Sister Mary Kevin Orphanage in Uganda. She’s doing amazing things and I’m so pleased to offer a small part in support of this endeavor. The children at Sister Mary Kevin create the banana leaf dolls and Gloria invites artists in Kansas City to collaborate, to create a work that will then be auctioned off at the fundraiser. My piece is made of honey locust thorns. Here’s a link to see the other works, and to find out more about this amazing venture…and Gloria’s beautiful work. http://gloriainafrica.blogspot.com/
