It gives me incredible joy to present to you my second solo exhibition with the Romaine Brooks Gallery. The show is titled Mannish Terrain and includes paintings from two bodies of work. My small snapshot paintings are continued with a focus on imagery that I feel challenges contemporary thought on acceptable and questionable male-to-male affection.  Perhaps simply because they are products of a different generation; or because of how war forces one man to completely dehumanize another that it's necessary to express some level of affection for one's own emotional well-being; but the characters in these paintings obviously share bond that rivals storybook love stories.

The other body of work will include four larger landscapes focusing on scenes of Albany that explore industrialization and man's triumph over nature. Perhaps not the most beautiful subjects, with crumbling columns and rusting bridges, these paintings dissect man's own fallibility against time. This show will be available for viewing this August as part of First Friday.

I am honored to be a part of Albany Center Gallery's exhibition, Domestic Dramas, showing this August. This will be my first time showing with ACG. I hope this is the budding of a long and productive relationship with such an amazing gallery and group of people. This show will actually be hung into September, so if you're not available for the opening during August's First Friday celebration, you'll have a second chance during September's! The paintings included in this show are of old snapshots from family albums.  They serve as a creative outlet while I explore my family history and genealogy.
