In Bicycles:  Vintage and Contemporary, bicycles are presented as familiar objects that are international icons with universal appeal. Whether hanging on the wall or from the ceiling, made from cardboard, or drawings, paintings on tar paper, or mixed media photography, collectively they create a lively and welcoming gallery environment. Featured artists include Daryl Thetford (photography), Leonard Piha (cardboard sculpture), Denise Stewart-Sanabria (sculpture/mixed media), Tres Taylor (paintings), Jason Stoddart….plus, real bicycles.

September 2 Person Exhibit at Sarratt Gallery, Vanderbilt University

Drawing Closer: Ink and Wood will be at Sarratt Gallery, Vanderbilt University, will be in September 2015. It is a two person exhibit with Ellen Wiener of NY, information below. (Her piece is actually a collaborative installation with poet LB Thompson, so it is really a 3-person exhibit). My figurative drawings on plywood will inhabit the floor space of the gallery, while Wiener will have a 6' x 17' wall-size piece interactive with LB's poetry text. We should be giving a drawing workshop during the last weekend. Exact dates and more details to be announced.
