B-Sides

Cityscape 14 (Resources), 2007, acrylic, ink, glitter, 36 x 36"

During the month of July Seattle's Canoe Social Club has a group of early and experimental pieces, most of which have not been shown in Seattle before. A chance to see where I've been and some of the in-between steps leading to my current work . . . . Think of it as an exhibition of B-Sides.*

Hosted and Curated by Victoria Lahti.

Opens Thursday, July 2nd at 5 pm
Free and open to the Public!
Show is in the gallery through August 5th

Canoe Social Club
International District, Seattle
409 7th Avenue South

* By the way, as a huge music fan I have always adored the b-sides. Brings to mind a peek into something more personal and exploratory than a big hit, a chance to hear (or in this case see) something closer to the artist's raw thought process.

New Noise

Uncharted

Four pieces from a new series, Uncharted. The moment of first encounter with the unknown is exciting, stunning, overwhelming, fascinating, frightening, invigorating.
