Love Letters Piece and Opening Reception

Here are the pictures of my full piece for the Love Letters show. I was assigned the letter "L". My piece is called, "Lock for a Lost Love." It is made of copper, an altered found silver platter, a lens, pearls and embroidery thread.
If you missed the reception last night, there is still one more chance to go see the show!

Opening at the Night Gallery

Come see another great show (and my new piece in the post below) at the Night Gallery! The gallery puts up a new show with all new work in lots of different mediums every month. All work is created by ASU Graduate Students, Faculty and Alumni.

The opening reception is Thursday, August 7th from 6-9 pm. There will even be delicious catering. Oh, and some of the artwork had to be brought in with a forklift...just trying to get you excited. It should be another awesome show!

The Night Gallery is located at 2000 E Rio Salado Parkway in Tempe. Crossroads are McClintock and Rio Salado. The gallery is located next to Aeropostale.

Night Gallery Grand Opening

Last night was the grand opening reception for the new Night Gallery in Tempe. The space was layed out beautifully and the work in the show was amazing. I know I am biased, but it was one of the best shows I have seen in the valley in a long time. It was a great mix of contemporary artwork from both veteran and emerging artists, and if you missed the opening you should head on over to the gallery another time to check out the show. Info can be found HERE. The show stays up for a month, so go check it out! Some gallery shots...Me and my piece...This piece is by ASU sculpture grad, Ryan Lamfers.This piece is called Urban Sprawl by Damien Johnson, and is real cactus with neon!This skull and portrait of Britney Spears created with swimming pool lane lines, was made by ASU painting grad, Ryan Miller.This is the work (below) of Photographer, Christoper Colville.This ceramic installation by ASU ceramics grad, Jesse Armstrong was really interesting.I was completely captivated by this motorized rotating piece by sculptor Al Price. It spun slowly in a circle, chaging your view from spheres, to circles, to flat planes and casting beautiful shadows on the wall.There is so much great work in the show, I can't share all of it, and you need to see it in person. Take a walk in the Tempe Marketplace, get some sushi at Kabuki (delicious by the way!), go see some great art, and make a night of it!

I want to thank all my friends that came to the opening. It really means a lot to me to have so many people that support me in all my endeavors. Thanks guys!

Come See Some of My New Work at the...

I just finished a new piece! I have started in a very new direction, and am excited to see where it leads me. I will be exhibiting my first entirely non-functional piece of artwork since I started grad school. Its a big step for me:) So, if you want to see it, you have to come to the show. Otherwise you will just have to wait until I post a photo of it after the opening:)
