I am excited to donate one of my new artworks, “The Moment In-Between” to the Firecat Projects fundraising exhibition, which opens on Friday, December 27 2013 at 2124 N Damen Ave, Chicago IL.
Firecat is one of the coolest galleries in Chicago and I’m not just saying that because I have a solo show there in 2014. Stan Klein, the rock star who founded Firecat, is dedicated to working with artists–especially emerging artists–to empower them to create sustainable art careers. His monthly shows are always filled with interesting, thought-provoking work.
Over 50 works of art are available for sale at the fundraiser, including some fantastic pieces by Tony Fitzpatrick, Deborah Maris Lader, Renee Robins, Lauren Levato and Adam Shrewsbury.

I create burned wood engravings that combine my love of the textures and patterns found in nature with a deep interest in the unconscious world of dreams, symbols and mythic folklore.
