SURROUNDED

I am pleased to announce that I have a piece included in Roman Susan's Spring Art Group Show, featuring 30 amazing artists. The opening reception was on Friday, March 29 and it was lovely to meet some of the artists in attendance. If you have not yet seen the exhibit, you will have until May 4 to immerse yourself in the floor to ceiling, salon style exhibition. Swing by the closing reception and say hello!

I plan on heading back to the gallery to photograph some of my favorite works from the exhibit to share. Stay tuned....

 These pieces are part of the series Home Invasion. They represent the human companions that generally have an exclusive type of access to their owners and possess an allegiance toward the household as protectors or guardians of the home. I wanted to capture a particular type of energy that  alludes to their mystique. 

The End of the Abstract Show
