"Eat me Two" at Paulk & Co
I've got a large group of my food-based paintings in a solo exhibit at Paulk & Co at 510 Williams Street in Knoxville, TN for the month of March, 2014. We had the opening reception during 1st Friday last night, and the work is available to visit and see for the rest of the month. The staff comes in and out from the office and shop unpredictably, so call Virginia Adams at 865-335-3334 to make an appointment.

Paulk & Co is an amazing custom commercial and residential fabrication company specializing in concrete, marble and steel. Justin Paulk is a wizard at imagining counters, tables, sinks, shelving, landscape accents, tiles, and anything else. His partner, Virginia Adams, runs the business side and creates wonderful events in their showroom space. When they asked me to exhibit my paintings with them, they asked what entertainment I'd like them to book with my opening, and logically, I said food.

| No this is not a real machine gun. It uses crayons as bullets, and is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. |

You know when it's time to lock up and go home when men start wearing handmade beer carton hats....
and cries of "Vive la Résistance! " are heard!
