My First Public Exhibition

Presented at the Preservation Pub by the Art Society of Knoxville
June-July 2012

This exhibition opened on June 1 and coincided with the monthly citywide First Friday arts event. This was the first time I publicly exhibited my new style of pixel painting. Initially, I was just going to submit my newest painting, Vesica Piscis (far right). But I was invited to hang more so I hung Kukuly and Sonia (far left) and Sarah 1 (center) as well.

I didn’t think Sarah 1 fit with my other two paintings. This motivated me to finish a second painting of her. In mid-June I replaced it with a new painting of her wearing her regalia for Bonnaroo 2012. This exhibition remained in place through the end of July.

Bonnaroo Girl has been one of my most popular paintings.
The model loved it.
