Opening on Sept 7th in Taipei, Taiwan at Bluerider Art I will be part of a four person show where I will showcase four pieces from my water series where I have been exploring the power of waves and capturing a single moment of a dynamic force that might reveal an abstracted human form. I render the waves using up to 200 coats of transparent layers of paint that have light glowing from the back as well as white highlights in the foreground that make up the abstracted human forms.
Sep. 7th to Oct. 20th

I will be showing 2 pieces from my new ink on panel portrait series that examine the current social and political environment and put contemporary elements in context with historical events. I use the text from government documents or declarations from the past and use those words as my mark to make portraits of people standing strong in the face of government oppression.
The show will run Aug 22-Nov 21. 2019, in The W. Keith & Janet Kellogg University Art Gallery on the Cal Poly Pomona campus
Opening is Saturday September 7th, 2019 from 2-5 pm #laart #inkportrait #calpolypomona #kelloggallery #inkandclay44 #drawing
60”x37” Ink on panel “Mary jo” had an abortion at age 21 when she didn’t feel she could provide what was necessary emotionally or financially to raise a child on her own. Without legalized abortion women will risk their life to have the freedom to make decisions about their bodies and the way they live their own lives.
Prior to 1821 abortion was legal in all 50 states. In 1821 Connecticut was the first state to ban abortion. The text is made up of two pieces, the first is the statute from the bylaws of the state of Connecticut from 1821 that banned abortions. The second is the Comstock Laws of 1873 which was the first federal law to address abortion. #portrait #womenempowerment #laart #inkportrait #ink #penandink #abortionrights #losangelesartist #drawing #draw #artstudio #womensrights #freedom #artoftheday #gallery #instaartist #creative #artistoninstagram #instagramartist #illustragram #illustratorsofinstagram #instapainting #artistofig #instagramart #artistofinstagram #contemporaryart #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #instagramart #illustragram #instadrawing
“Ash” rediscovered her sexuality while in college and finally made the choice to come out with the support of her sister. Since then she has become a speaker, activist and advocate of the LGBTQ community. The text is Executive Order 10450 from 1953 that used broad language to ban homosexuals from working in the federal government notably the armed services. The Executive Order was part of a larger movement that included mass firings in the 1950’s and was referred to as the “Lavender Scare” which was discrimination based on sexual orientation. The “Lavender Scare” worked in parallel with the “Red Scare” of the same time period that targeted communism in the United States. #inkportrait #portrait #laart #penandinkdrawing #pen #text #executiveorder #lgbt #lgbtq🌈 #equality #penandink #strongwomen #discrimination #fightback
