M.I.A

Wow. Sorry about that. 

I've been working towards deadlines for the past year and a half. I had my show at HallSpace and then a show at Montserrat College of Art to prepare for. I was also feverishly working to apply to graduate school. 

I'm happy to report that the hard work paid off and I will be attending Virginia Commonwealth University (VCUarts) this Fall to earn my MFA in Painting.

I don't have any painting deadlines right now and while it feels strange, I am allowing myself to leave the studio and hang out with friends and experience springtime on the North Shore one last time before heading down south. 

Below are images for you to look at and hopefully enjoy. I realized I never posted photos of my show in Boston. I'll be back to blogging soon. I've got stuff to say.

You're the best, the absolute best.

Below are a few corresponding events. All take place at Montserrat College of Art, 23 Essex Street Beverly MA 01915. 

Contemporary Cocktail - Februrary 28th, 7:00pm - 9:00pm

Public Artist Talk - March 26th, 11:30am - 12:15pm

That's Outrageous!

Actually, it's Artrageous! Artrageous!25 to be exact, Montserrat College of Art's annual art auction. And I'm pleased as punch to let you know that my drawing Rahda's Garden was juried into the live auction by jurors Destiny Barletta of  Pucker Gallery, Kristen Dodge of DODGE Gallery in New York City and Randi Hopkins of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston.

I will definitely be in attendance on April 30th to watch as people (hopefully) bid on my work. I'm also happy to say that my friends Bradford and Chelsea will have work in the live auction as well. 

Thanks for reading my friends.
