I've Got An Art Show!

I'm super excited, I'll be having my second, solo art show next month! A local artist hub in my city reached out to me back in December and asked if I was interested in showing my work in one of the galleries they maintained, so I said hell yeah. Right after that, one of the local art councils opened up applications to a National Endowment for the Arts Grant and I was able to submit and get funded $1,500 towards my show.

There have been some ups and downs of getting the kinks worked out (the venue literally closed down) but now its all set and even the towns DDA office is involved in making it happen!


I've titled the show "Point & Click: The Visual of Digital" and it will be a canvas-printed display of my art available to view over the course of 3 months. I'm calling it that because there still exists a stigma in the modern world of art surrounding digital art and illustration, viewing work done digitally as lesser than those done traditionally, and I like to pushback against that shit. Watching an old lady in real time be flabbergasted that my piece at a show was done digitally and those weren't physical brush strokes was pretty great.


Anyways, I'm pretty damn pumped for this show and the Opening Reception will be Friday, September 2nd from 5:30pm - 7:30pm! Wish me luck in selling my work!
