ART Venture
ART Venture has been on my mind a lot lately. This opportunity has come along at the perfect time for me, and although I am only one of 21 amazingly skilled candidates, the experience so far has been worth gold to me.

Putting on a solo show is a demanding, but creatively abundant, endeavor. At times I’ve missed having other artists to bounce concept/coherency and themes with. But I’ve also had to dig deep to produce…read more →
