The opening was successful, the show was beautifully put together. Here are a few shot of what it looks like, but much better to see these beautiful works of art in person! Matthew Green is a talented painter and very cool guy I had the pleasure to meet and chat with at the opening. His paintings were hung directly above some of mine. We spoke about and shared our passion for Urban exploring. The photo transfers used for the "Into the Light" mixed media piece were taken inside The Divine Lorriane, during an UE trip with my fearless partner Aaron.
Also in the show were two amazingly talented ceramic artists who I did not have the opportunity to meet, but hopefully soon. Amazing work!

Opening night of this show was one of the most exciting and special nights I have ever had. I was very honored to have been awarded the highest honor, I was quite literally beaming. It also inspired me to almost immediately begin working on a new painting. SEPT 30th - OCT 2nd 2010 "More Than Just a One Night Stand" art show at the MainLine Art Center in Bryn Mawr, PA - I had an entire wall dedicated to my work, was able to display many of my most recent work. The function of this show was to raise money for the art center they sold tickets to get into the opening night, had raffle, games, and other fun things. Unfortunately it rained that night and the turn out was pretty low. It was still wonderful getting to put all my artwork up and see it as a whole body of work. So much COLOR! | Work that SOLD recently :
 "In Search"  "Ruby Shoes"  "Killer of Innocence"  "Origin of Life" If you are sad that these pieces are sold, maybe you had eyed them up at one of my exhibits, never fear.... the next best thing to the Original is still available!!

FINAL FINAL Friday (Last Friday of 2011) Dec 30th is a celebration of Art Opening, 5pm -8pm. 
till 10pm, show will up on display until end of Dec.
being held at Main Line Art Center in Bryn Mawr, PA .The show will be up until Jan 15th, 2011. The Main Line Art Center or MLAC for short is located near where I live. I am a member there, participate in the pottery classes they offer, mostly I do wheel throwing, I have been making pottery for almost 10 yrs, find it very soothing, centering and relaxing. Much like working with Mandalas- centers oneself, is meditative, and calming.
