Art shows!

Shapes, etc.

October 11th - 12th, 2024

12 original paintings, honoring and recreating shapes I encountered in the last year along my journeys that i found to be visually striking

Bear Creek Winery, ND

โ€œThe works in this show are my version of intriguing shapes I have seen, collected, inherited, received by text, purchased, or had inked on my skin.  They are a representation of how I learned to look intentionally at the world, notice what was around me, and how I connected and communed with the most interesting parts.โ€

Something to look at

june 10 - 11th, 2023

20 original paintings. abstract, spontaneous, layered, and vibrant

the space, downtown fargo, nD

โ€œSOMETHING TO LOOK AT resulted from getting comfortable in playing on canvas, and finding what felt good. I let loose, used many colors, and often had no plans for my brush as I approached the canvas. In painting, I explored the liminal spaces that abstract work flows from and into.

After years of mural and commissions for others, it was the first step towards reclaiming a creative practice for myself. I used the design from โ€œL.A.โ€ for the back of the hoodies made for the show.

I enjoyed painting on functional objects and bringing unexpected depth to them. An old store mannequin and my friendโ€™s longboard were both included as canvases in this show. โ€
