CROSSINGS:  Solo Exhibition, August 9 – 30, 2019 at Atelier 1205, 1205 E. Cesar Chavez, Austin, Texas 78702, opening reception 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. Friday August 9

Crossings is a metaphor, not only for travel, but also for shape shifting between the viewer and that which is viewed. This is a body of work I began four years ago, when I was searching for new ways to express a more personal and sensory experience of the elements we call landscape.   In my crossings to Ireland, I also learned to travel between realism and abstraction, and discovered the unforeseen ways in which a powerful place can shape and call forth new work. I hope you can join me –
