Solo Show at Bellarmine Gathering Space Art Gallery

Thanks to everyone who could come and all the wonderful conversation!

“Cygnus” represents transformation and is a Rust Monotype with 24k gold on vintage linen mounted over a coped wooden panel. My father’s voice first conjured the mythic stories of Ursa major and minor, the Pleiades, Andromeda and Cygnus into my consciousness while we lay on our backs in the grass of my grandparent’s Kansas farm, gazing up through night binoculars. Cygnus is one of the most rec…
