Upcoming: Nature Homage Juried National Exhibition

I was juried into a national exhibition in Norfolk, Virginia, at the Norfolk d'Art Center! The show is called Nature Homage: A Juried National Exhibition of Animal and Insect Artworks. Juror Tonya Hopson selected two of my paintings, The Seed and Camelflage. If you’re interested in the statistics: 57 works made it into the show out of 396 submissions.

Nature Homage will be on display from March 16 - April 13, 2024. The reception will be held on Friday, March 22, 2024, from 5:30-7:30pm and the d’Art Center will do a Facebook Live of the reception awards as well as upload the award video to YouTube and upload the exhibition online on their archive site.

"Art Under Review" Regional High School Exhibition Judge

The head art teacher for the Sioux City Community School District reached out to me last year and asked if we would be willing to host a competitive art show in Morningside’s Eppley Art Gallery for three regional high schools’ artists: North, East, and West High Schools. Each high school’s art teacher would select the entries, and then I was asked to judge the pieces and award prizes as well as provide a critique of the artwork for the students.

I enthusiastically agreed! The show, Art Under Review, has been on exhibition in Eppley Art Gallery from the beginning of the spring semester on January 10. I will be announcing awards and critique feedback on January 31. The visiting student artists will also get to attend an art workshop and take a campus tour. The show will continue through February 2, 2024.
