I’m pleased to announce two upcoming gallery showings of a recent work, which is the result of a collaboration with visual artist Maggie Mahlock.

It will be featured Friday, April 26th from 6-9pm at the Clay Street Press Gallery located in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood in downtown Cincinnati. This is occurring in conjunction with the ‘Final Friday’ event in Over-the-Rhine, which features events at most of the art galleries in the area.
