Exhibitions 2022-2023

Broken | Snap is my first large scale sculpture. It is a 10-foot high plasma cut steel structure finished with black automobile paint and white oil marker. It has been accepted into the 2022 Chicago Sculpture Exhibit.

This is a large scale, three-dimensional work. It is being sponsored by the Chicago Wolves Hockey Team.

Broken and Snap are two words I've seen used by graffiti artists I wanted to create something more permanent, with dimension, unlike the graffiti.

This sculpture will be on exhibit outside of Hibbard Elementary School at Argyle and Spaulding until August 2023. Over the course of the year Broken | Snap is on display, I am hoping it will become a canvas for other to leave their mark, adding stickers, color or other graffiti.

Street Communications is my first piece accepted in the 2022 Chicago Alliance of Visual Artists show "Later Impressions".

This is a smaller scale, three-dimensional work made of high-fired ceramic, underglazed and glazed. There are additional elements in steel, paper and rope. This is one of a series.

I see pipes as a form of communication, whether through the pipe itself (water, electricity, gas) or as a form of "town crier" with signs, graffiti or stickers attached by the public.

This sculpture will be on exhibit at the Evanston Art Center, Evanston, Illinois October 8 through November 5, 2022.
