Stellify Opening is One Week Away!

Just a few days left before Stellify opens in The Gallery at LPR!  Wednesday, March 6, 6:30-9:30. I’m excited to be participating in such an eclectic, creative space, where my work will engage with musical performances, readings, comedy, and parties.  It’s like a throwback to the days of the cultural salon.

I would love for you to stop by!  RSVP here: stellify@lprnyc.com  It’s not required, but would be appreciated.  If you can’t make the opening, the exhibition runs March 7-June 6.  The Gallery at LPR is located at 158 Bleecker Street, in Manhattan, NY.  Below is a sneak peak at one of the new drawings that will be on display.

Upcoming Exhibition at Le Poisson Rouge

I’m excited to announce my upcoming solo exhibition Stellify in The Gallery at Le Poisson Rouge. Mark your calendars for the opening reception: Wednesday, March 6 from 6:30-9pm.  I will be showing 12 pieces, including 5 new works never previously exhibited.

Stellify means to transform or be transformed into a star or constellation.  Creation myths of nearly every ancient civilization include stories of humans transformed into constellations. My favorites are those in which a god, noticing one of our ancient ancestors fleeing some terrible danger, takes pity and saves them by placing among the stars. There is something simultaneously beautiful and terrifying about this concept.  Much of my recent work was developed with these stories in mind.

I would love for you to join me at the reception.  There will be refreshments and an open bar serving alcohol, so we ask that guests be 21+.  For more information, visit Le Poisson Rouge’s website here.
