Solo exhibition

I installed my first solo exhibition of encaustic paintings at the Art Lounge in the Union on the 2nd, and it will be up until Oct. 30. Below are pictures from the exhibition (sorry for the poor quality), but high resolution photos of the paintings themselves are in my portfolio gallery here.

There are also two press links for the exhibit: in the Arts Info newsletter and on the UM Event Calender.
