Weekly Update

It's been a while but I am going to TRY to get back to a regular posting schedule thins week...we'll see...!

Current Exhibitions

I currently have a piece in the Fleisher Art Memorial Faculty Show...I haven't had a chance to see the show yet, but many fabulous artists work there so I'm sure it will be wonderful!

Step Right Up...

September-October 2009
Vagabond Boutique
37 N. 3rd Street

Philadelphia, PA
Opening Reception: Friday, September 4th 6-8pm


The My Face in your Space show at Nexus is a pretty cool idea. To be included in the show, someone who's already in the show asks you to do a portrait of them and they do one of you. You can then ask anyone you want to be in the show, but again, you have to do a portrait of them and they have to do one of you. I was invited by my friend Molly Mullahy and am excited to see what she does!
