Cosmological Formations,series I, XIV, 2013

Watercolor and ink on yupo, 39" x 23"

I am so thankful for ArtSlant. Exhibiting my work at Aqua Miami has propelled my career to new heights. I have been picked up by a gallery that would like to take my work to 3 art fairs this year (NY, LA & SF maybe even MIAMI), they also are putting me in a group show in CA and in Prague. There are plans for my first solo show early 2014!!! The owner and director, saw my work in Miami in the ArtSlant room at Aqua. This truly has been a pivotal experience for me and I'm very thankful. Please know that the opportunities you and your team offer to a young artist, really change careers and LIVES! Thank you!
