Great news! My first curatorial proposal for the Lawrence Arts Center in Lawrence, KS (right outside Kansas City) has been accepted! I know what you are thinking — Kansas?!? I thought the same thing before applying for this opportunity but if you check out the Lawrence Arts Center’s website, you will discover that the type of art and artists that they seek are those attempting to push the limits of what art is all about, and, simulataneously interacting with, engaging and educating the public. Their vision is: “to show the best in contemporary art in order to educate, engage, and challenge the community.” This is the first show that I have organized of a group of artists working in the same vein as myself. I am very excited about organizing the show, as well as, exhibiting with this group of artists whose work I respect greatly. The artists on the exhibit’s roster are as follows: Myself, Basil El Halwagy, Sara Schneckloth, Greg Fuqua and Doug Russell.
The following is the statement that I prepared for the proposal. This basically describes what the exhibit is about, though keep in mind it may go through some slight alterations (lengthening) before the exhibition:

Group Drawing Exhibition Statement
What is behind the perceived forces of the physical universe? What are the similarities and differences between the micro- and macro- cosmic universes? Can making marks on paper help unravel the conundrums of observed reality? That is what this group of five artists are attempting to uncover — the essence of the invisible mysteries that the universe often allows us to ponder, through the act of drawing.
Though their processes may differ – from the obsessively analytical to the purely expressive – these five artists use the medium of drawing as a source of inquiry into matter, consciousness, and energy; often oscillating between clarity and chaos.

I just found out that I received the Best of Show award for the 25th International Juried Exhibition in Summit, NJ for my graphite drawing Supersymmetry Exists. . . just not here!!! (See previous post here). I was very excited to get accepted to this exhibition initially and now I am overjoyed that my piece was chosen Best in Show. I would like to thank the juror, Joan Young, for choosing my piece! Please feel free to come out for the exhibition’s opening reception on Friday, January 14th from 6-8pm.
Honorably Mentioned

Good news! I received an Honorable Mention award at the recent Axiom of Gesture Exhibition at the Runnels Gallery of Eastern New Mexico University. I just wanted to thank Bryan Hahn for his efforts in getting my artwork out to New Mexico and taking the time to install it in the ceiling — not an easy task! I’ll have some images to post from the actual exhibit soon - I’m certainly looking forward to seeing them!
