My artwork was juried into the upcoming national 2024 Arizona Aqueous XXXVIII exhibition! Juror Tracy Lynn Ross selected my sparrowhawk mother and child papyrus paintings Syncretism and Potential.
The show will be on display from January 5 - February 25, 2024 in the Tubac Center of the Arts located at 9 Plaza Road, Tubac, AZ 85646. There are awards, so I’ll look forward to the announcement of those - presumably at the opening reception on Friday, January 5th from 5-7pm.
Indiana University Kokomo's Biosphere juried international exhibition is ending today! Here are some photos of my bas relief Surface on display. I offered the option of exhibiting it on the wall or on a pedestal, and they chose to emphasize the QCC relief by going the pedestal route.

I have my recent bas relief Surface (which I created while attending my Whiterock Conservancy artist residency) in the upcoming juried international exhibition Biosphere hosted by Indiana University Kokomo. Out of just under 200 submitted entries, 36 pieces were selected for display.
As per the below show flyer, this exhibition will be on display from June 9 - July 9, 2022 with an opening reception on Thursday, June 9th from 4-7pm. If you’re in the region of Kokomo, Indiana, you should check it out! The gallery is located inside the Kelley Center at 2300 S. Washington St, Kokomo, IN 46902.

An image of one of my paintings (Velocity, if you’re curious, as I went with my most recent work to date) is going to be sent to the Moon on a shielded microSD card in a 'Moonbox' from NASA contractor Astrobotic, so my work will be in a lunar digital archive! (Until radiation breaks through and wipes it away.)
A fellow space enthusiast who purchased a Moonbox to send microSD cards up and had extra storage available shared this opportunity with me (and others) and I excitedly submitted and was approved. I wanted to know what kind of exhibiting artist this will make me since international is no longer enough (and galactic seemed too broad), so I asked a bunch of friends and students what adjective means the Earth and Moon together.
There was a lot of speculation - interstellar also seems too broad, and the offerings of stratospheric, universal, lunatic (haha), and interplanetary didn’t fit the bill either. But my friend Bernie Langer came through with "geoselenic,” which is exactly the term I was looking for! (Apparently it’s of Hellenic derivation; Bernie also followed up with the Latin-derived “terralunar” which I like even better but which sadly hasn’t yet made it into a dictionary.)
Also, I can’t mention being a geoselenic artist without linking some relevant forefathers.
I’ve had two pieces - Balancing Act and Camelflage - selected for exhibition at the Cultural Center for Cape Cod in Massachusetts’ international show Wild Things which opens November 20, 2020. Only 87 of 707 entries (the most they’ve ever received!) made the cut, so I’m pleased that 2 of mine are included in that number!
You can already view the online gallery here!
I have been juried by photographer and arts administrator Alison Erazmus into Webster Arts’ Relationships national exhibition! Of 586 submissions, 64 works were selected and my mixed media painting Littoral Layers is one of those 64.
The show will open with a Facebook Live event on November 17, 2020, at 7 pm CST. Additionally, all exhibition pieces will be available on their website http://webster-arts.org under the Exhibits tab.
Three of my pieces have been accepted into the biennial international juried exhibition SMALL WORKS at the Northville Art House in Northville, MI. They are: Gardens of Memory: London Planetree and Maidenhair, Failed Test 1, and Failed Test 3. According to the exhibits committee, 140 works of art created by 60 artists were selected from 395 entries and 81 artists. All works had to be under 12” in length and width.
Exhibition Dates: November 1 – November 30
Location: Northville Art House, 215 W. Cady Street, Northville, MI 48167

My painting Camelflage was chosen by juror Dr. Jessica Locheed for inclusion in the Conroe Art League 4th Annual National Invitational Show, which will be open from March 6 to March 30, 2019. Of the 372 pieces entered from 31 states, my work was selected as one of 72 pieces on exhibit.
The Conroe Art League and Gallery is located at 127 Simonton Street, Conroe, TX 77301. For more information about the show, please call 936-756-9572 or visit their website.
In an earlier post, I mentioned that my painting Reconnaissance won Second Place Overall in the 24th Arts in Harmony 2019 Annual International Show. Arts in Harmony 2019 has two subsequent traveling exhibitions that draw from the original show, and I was hoping that my work would be selected for either/both. Well, I learned that the traveling exhibitions are occurring simultaneously so no work can be in both of them - but I’m pleased to share that Reconnaissance was selected to be in the American Swedish Institute Arts North Exhibition from Feb 22 to Mar 17, 2019!
Here’s some information from their website:
Drawn from 680 entries from around the U.S. and five international countries, Arts North is a popular juried competition now in its 24th year. The 50 pieces on view at ASI, including paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, sculpture and textiles, were selected from an exhibition of 130 works shown at the Hopkins Center for the Arts.
The larger juried traveling show, modeled after the Minnesota State Fair Fine Arts competition, annually draws from approximately 700 initial entries from artists from throughout the US. who submit in various media divisions: acrylics, ceramics, glass, drawings, oils, mixed media, pastels, photography, prints, sculpture, sequential srt, textiles and watercolors.
This exhibition seeks to showcase the quality and diversity that artists bring to their work and to inspire viewers to explore ideas and learn more about options within each medium.
The American Swedish Institute is at 2600 Park Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55407. If you’re considering stopping by to see the Arts North Exhibition, here is the hours and admissions page from their website!
Last night was the opening reception for my two-person show at the R.G. Endres Gallery with accompanying artist Kathleen Kirch! It was an extremely cold evening - but it was nice and warm inside, with lovely Prairie Village Arts Council members and local viewers in attendance.
Here are some links to press coverage for the show:

And here are a few photos! I have 35 pieces on display, so if you want to see the full show you can still visit through February 27th.
I am excited to share that I was selected to exhibit at the R.G. Endres Gallery in the Prairie Village City Hall for the month of February in a large two-person show - I’m exhibiting 35 pieces, if that gives you a sense of the scale of the space!
(If you took a look at this post when I first published it, you’ll notice it has changed - it was initially scheduled to be a three-person show but one of the artists dropped out so I’ve edited it accordingly!)
Here’s the (revised) press release the Prairie Village Arts Council sent out:
February Exhibition at R.G. Endres Gallery
Wildlife and the beauty of the natural world will be the dominant theme of the February Exhibit at the R.G. Endres Gallery in the Prairie Village City Hall, 7700 Mission Road, Prairie Village, KS 66208. Regional artists Kathleen Kirch of Gardner and Shelby Prindaville of Leavenworth will display their works in oils, acrylics, and watercolors.
Kathleen Kirch, an avid hiker and outdoors enthusiast, relates that her paintings of wildlife are inspired by her spiritual connection to the places she has visited. Complimenting these works, Shelby Prindaville, the Art Program Director and Assistant Professor of Art at the University of St. Mary in Leavenworth, expresses the ethereal beauty of nature in her watercolors, acrylics, and mixed media.
The exhibit will run from February 4 through February 27 at the R.G. Endres Gallery during business hours of the City Hall. A reception with the artists will be held on Friday, February 8; 6:00-7:00 PM.
My artwork Reconnaissance has been juried into The 24th Arts in Harmony 2019 Annual International Show! The main show will be at Hopkins Center for the Arts, 1111 Mainstreet, Hopkins, MN 55343, with show dates of Thursday, January 10 – Sunday, February 17, 2019.
There are awards and two subsequent traveling shows as well, so we’ll see if my work is selected for any of those too!
