“The artists in this exhibition- Joan Backes, Joa Brubaker and the Exquisite Gardeners, Larry and Debby Kline, Maidy Morhous, Susan Osborn, Lori Pond, Marisol Rendon,and Cory Sewelson- use their artwork to visually express themes related to preserving culture in a dystopia landscape. These artists represent and utilize familiar objects,remnants of the built environment, as well as artifacts and icons of everyday life in an exploration of the cultural threads that tie us together.”

El Camino College Art Gallery is pleased to present the work of 13 Southern California artists in Personal Matters, an exhibition of personal narrative work. Emerging from a rich art historical tradition of works representing private experience – Frida Kahlo, Vincent Van Gogh and Max Beckmann to name a few- the artists in this exhibit depict their own experiences. In a time of emphasis on merchandising and mass media it seems particularly important to recognize individual lives, struggles, love, courage, humor and cultural differences as lived and portrayed on the personal level. This exhibition explores the realm of the intimate in a broad variety of media, creating an opportunity for the viewer to glimpse the individual artist’s circumstance and psyche.
My painting, “Big Top,” is in the show – Reinventing Ourselves from Another Point of View Self Portrait Exhibition. The show is at Art NXT Level Projects/33 Contemporary in Chicago.

This painting is from my current series of work- Fun House. The concept is a mash-up of that classic amusement park attraction with more traditional residential architecture. The blurred lines lead to many spin offs about how we relate to the world. This piece is a self-portrait depicting the sometimes overwhelming experience of sensory overload.
