Upcoming 2015 Exhibits

These are the exhibits I have just lined up for 2015 in the last few weeks: 

Solo Exhibits

The Tomato Head

I will be having a solo exhibit of epicurean paintings at Knoxville's iconic alternative art space, The Tomato Head restaurant. My work will be at their Market Square location downtown for the month of May, and at their location at The Gallery for the month of June. It is the first time my paintings have been there. My plywood drawings were exhibited in 2006. I love this venue. (and their food!)

ArtFields   Lake City, SC

This is my second year in ArtFields, and I can't say enough about it. It is kick-ass. I've got a blog about last year under May 2014. I love this event. It is like Grand Rapids' ArtPrize ,but for artists in the Southeastern US only. "Riding the Big Gun" is heading there, also.

From their website:
