I’m thrilled to have 5 paintings in the After Sargent exhibit at The Center for Visual & Performing Arts in Munster, Indiana!  This exhibit explores how contemporary painters, draftspersons, and sculptors have carried on, challenged, furthered, and broken the tradition of American painter John Singer Sargent (1856-1925).

 

Featuring the works of Alicia Dawn Criswell, Chelsea Lang, Clayton J. Beck III, Don Yang, Jessica Smit Mattingly, Mary Qian, Peter Lupkin, Tina Figarelli, and William Blake, this exhibit offers an opportunity to reflect on how Sargent’s legacy carries on and changes.

 

After Sargent runs from November 22nd, 2024 – February 22nd, 2025 with the Opening Reception on Saturday, November 23rd from 2:00-5:00pm. Please join me at the reception for this incredible exhibit!

I’m honored that my drawing “Threshold” has been chosen to be in the “Doorways: Coming or Going?” exhibit opening Friday, April 12th at the McCord Gallery & Cultural Center in Palos Park, IL!  Story about my process: Before I start my paintings, I do a line drawing in charcoal on paper to work out the composition in the same scale as the painting. Once I’m happy with the composition of the line drawing, I start the painting but never continue to work on the drawing. However, recently I decided to finish my “Threshold” drawing and it was really fun working in charcoal again and adding a little color to it with pastels.  I’m excited to show this finished drawing in the “Doorways: Coming or Going?” exhibit!
