I awoke this morning to a pleasent suprise! I was going through my normal morning routine, reading the Topeka Capital-Journal when I saw it - I am the featured artist in Bill Blankenship’s write-up about tonight’s First Friday Art Walk!

I will have my First Friday debut tomorrow at Creative Art Photography & Gallery, 307 S. Kansas, Topeka, KS from 6-8 pm. “Thoughts, Dreams and Pretty Things” will have 15 new paintings on display. 

We (Lyn, Brandon & I) just finished hanging the show tonight, and I am pretty excited by how the show looks. My new representational abstract pieces seemed to intermingle well with the purely abstract pieces, creating what I think is my strongest show to date.

Brandon and I spent the evening showing my artwork at Kimbari in Lawrence on Friday. There was a really nice crowd out for the Gallery Walk, and I got the opportunity to meet and talk with lots of people! Kate and Raphel provided a really nice spread with wine and finger foods.
If you haven’t been to Kimbari, you need to! They have the coolest merchadise: jewelry, bongos, rugs, and all kinds of tribal home decor. I bought 2 fabulous bracelets and Brandon got a hacky sack.
