Three newer images up at Hickok Cole for Art Night Three newer images up at Hickok Cole for Art Night 2024. It was exciting to finally print and frame some of this work from along the rivers in DC and New Orleans.

The Art Night sale is up online for another week and benefits Washington Project for the Arts and DC area artists. Check it out at: https://artnight2024.bigcartel.com
After a summer away from the studio, I’m slowly ge After a summer away from the studio, I’m slowly getting back into it. First step is a review of the polaroids made in New Orleans in May. Next step is making images this weekend in DC.
“Southern Live Oak in City Park, New Orleans, LA” “Southern Live Oak in City Park, New Orleans, LA” has been purchased by the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities for their Art Bank Collection. Work from the Art Bank collection is displayed in DC government buildings across the city. 

This piece is made by soaking a polaroid in water collected from the Mississippi River, and is part of an ongoing project about sustaining life during a climate emergency, focusing specifically on three distinct urban landscapes within the United States.

A huge thank you to DCCAH for their continued support and all that they do for DC artists.

april "Take a break from the man-made hell To cat april

"Take a break from the man-made hell
To catch a breath today

Could be the last you know, happy's how you oughta go
No pay could ever buy your soul
Ever make you whole

Don't you fake no smile if it ain't true
Crass said, "I am she, he is he
But you're the only you today"

Could be the last you know, happy's how you oughta go
No pay could ever buy your soul
Ever make you whole"
