First, thanks to everyone who braved the snow to make it out to the show opening on First Friday at Core. It was such a joy to share these pieces and engage in so many meaningful conversations with friends, acquaintances and strangers alike. Putting on the show has already been a profoundly awarding experience, allowing me to further develop my artistic style and create not just individual pieces but a body of work, a longstanding life goal. Of course part of me is always thinking of the pieces I didn’t have time to create, but to be real, these are ambitious and highly detailed pieces and they simply take me a long time.

In any case, if you missed the opening, I’ll also be hosting a closing reception this Saturday, March 21, from 1-3 p.m. at Core Art Space, with a talk around 1:30 p.m. The talk will focus on the symbolism of the Dharma Wheel as it relates to the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, and then we’ll have a question and answer period. I’d love to see you there!
