EXHIBITIONS (1998-present):
I have shown regularly with A1LabArts over the
last five years and have work in their fall show opening in KMA’s
Candy Factory Gallery on September 5, 2003.
Three works currently are traveling with the “Playing
Possum“ exhibition under the auspices of Kaleidoscope (a group of
area artists), scheduled at the following venues: Johnson City‘s
Area Arts Council (July/August 2003), Clarksville’s Customs House
Museum and Cultural Center (August/September 2003) and Morristown’s
Rose Center (spring 2004).
Several works were exhibited in an April-July 2001
Kaleidoscope group show, “Transparent Things (through which the
past shines),” at the Customs House Museum. “Transparent Things”
was voted best museum show of the year for the Clarksville-Montgomery
Co. area by the local paper in their People's Choice awards.
