My work was recently shortlisted for the Young Masters Art Prize. Read more here. Three of my pieces, below, were selected to be shown in two galleries throughout London. Wish me luck!
From left to right: Madonna and Child; Sue, Farmer's Daughter; Adam & Eve, Greene County, AL.
The show goes on until August 17, 2014, in Red Hook at the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition. Come check it out!
Here's a link to the page and below are the pieces that will be displayed at the exhibit.

Within this show there is an Affordable Art Room where I will be putting a Rosa Parks print embellished with gold leaf. I recently sold the original Rosa Parks to the George Washington Carver Museum in Dothan, Alabama so the print is the next best thing!
Check out the page here and the pieces that were selected are displayed below.
“The shortlisted artists will participate in two exhibitions, at Sphinx Fine Art and at the Lloyds Club, London between September and December 2014. The exhibitions will also feature previous winner Lottie Davies as a guest artist. A judging panel will award three Prizes; an overall Prize of £1,500 and two highly commended Prizes of £500 each, kindly donated by the Artists’ Collecting Society. The winning artists will also be invited to exhibit in a showcase of their work in an international location as part of the Young Masters International Tour in 2015.”
Madonna and Child
Adam and Eve, Greene County, AL
Sue, Farmer's Daughter
Yep, I got 2nd place. Check out the website here for more details. This is Sue, Farmer's Daughter. An FSA classic taken by Dorothea Lange that depicts a child on a trunk in a threadbare dress with a rancid fur collared coat. Most of her family's possessions are in that trunk so she's ready to pounce at anyone who comes too near.
Sue, Farmer's Daughter - Painted in 2009, 24'' x 54'' Materials: Acrylic, iron oxide oil and copper salt wash on canvas.
