Lucid 2021, Beinart Gallery. Saturday, April 24th - to May 16th

Lucid 2021 is an exhibition of diverse works by a variety of highly skilled artists. This exhibition showcases art that expands the imagination with themes of the otherworldly, juxtapositions that challenge the mind and beauty and darkness that thrill and entice even while sometimes repelling the viewer.

I’ve used biblical imagery, gothic motifs, and specific character tropes from Herman Melville’s classic novel, Moby Dick to reflect on the dichotomy of power, narcissism, and the natural world.

The series of paintings utilize hand-made sculptures and collage to create the imagery.

Come one and all – I will be there to have a chat!
