Reception for Identities: Politics and History, Wednesday, April 24, 7pm at The Local NY
Join me for the fun times at the reception for my show, Identities: Politics and History, at LIC's favorite artist hang-out: The Local NY. (See Map)
My art is on display all around the venue, and the show will run from March through April.
The theme of the show is current but a bit heavy, so local musicians will be playing for your enjoyment and to put everyone at ease. It'll be an authentic LIC/Queens experience!
The show can be seen all day, all week until May.
See you at 7pm, Wednesday, April 24!

2018 MOSAIC ARTS INTERNATIONAL AWARD WINNER!
I am thrilled to announce that, not only was my latest work, “The Hol(e)y Book: where am I?”, selected into the prestigious 2018 Mosaic Arts International* exhibition, I was honored with the CONTEMPORARY INNOVATION AWARD!!! (work that best encourages experimentation and challenges the definition of mosaic art)
