Unfocused – an exhibit review
2018 Year in Review
Art The year 2018 was a mixed bag for me in regards to my art. In the first half of the year my job required quite a bit from me and my time for creating evaporated. But I still made work, and I participated in some minor exhibits, so it wasn't a complete wash. Commissions... Continue Reading →

Troika: Persistent Illusions
