Exhibits

Upcoming – The "Organic Cubism" Exhibition opens at the Oceanside Museum of Art at the Seabird on May 4 - August 26, 2024 in Oceanside, CA - Opening Reception Celebration is on Wednesday, May 29, 2024 6-7:30PM.

Posted on March 9, 2024

A survey of four San Diego based artists whose work is defined by bold geometric shapes intersecting with color, offer us a mesmerizing journey through the depths of the psyche. Their unique artistic perspectives explore form and color through stroking patterns, dynamic juxtapositions, and intense hues, all merging to create a powerful and disorientingly psychological-sensory experience. This meticulous composition creates a visual language that speaks to the complexities of the human experience.

Organic Cubism is more than just an exhibition; it's a testament to the power of art to transcend boundaries and ignite the imagination. This exhibition invites us to embark on a journey of exploration and discovery, where every stroke of the brush and every splash of color offers a glimpse into the infinite possibilities of the human mind.

Featuring work by Mensah Bey, Denja Harris, Josie Marlyn Gomez, and Monty Montgomery. Curated by Natalie Gonzalez.

Profoundly affected by his upbringing in the rural woods of Virginia’s countryside, Monty Montgomery’s work has always been informed by his visceral and emotional reactions to everyday experiences, such as exploring nature, or trekking city streets. His distinctive artistic voice was shaped in his teen years, when he began expressing his perception of the external world in bright geometric abstraction. His characteristic style emerged as a result of distilling sensory input through the lens of urban and natural landscapes. Using color theory, mathematics, and intuition, he attempts to harmonize the collision of these elements into something beautiful and cohesive.

Montgomery uses his innate intuition for color and object relationships to connect with the viewer, sharing his artistic vision through a “visual-emotional language”, as he calls it. His interpretation of everyday scenes is often surprising, as the end results look vastly different than their real world counterparts. This unique perspective grants Montgomery both strength and vulnerability in his art practice.

From the Artist:

“In the ‘Intersection’ exhibition, I wanted to express the various paths that have lead me to this point emotionally, physically, and artistically. It feels as if I am constantly encountering new directions, and have grown more sensitive to my surroundings in response; I have been spending more time alone, going deeper into nature and exploring unfamiliar alleys through major cities. Even the work in this exhibition has developed a new life of its own as it travels across the country, to exhibit at different locations.

So much has changed in our world over the last few years, causing each and every one of us to take new directions with ourselves, our feelings, and our intentions. I went through many different “Intersections” in life; I recently had spinal surgery and have thankfully made it through that two-year experience. Over the last three and a half years I have journeyed from Brooklyn, New York to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and over to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Charlottesville, Virginia before realizing how important it was to call San Diego, California home again. I now share my time between being Home in the city of San Diego and the deep woods of Virginia where I grew up.

‘Intersection’ is a representation of the balance I need in my life to create, to see, and to FEEL the ways I feel. This balance allows the creativity to flow from my mind, through my fingers and onto a surface. In much of my newest work, texture has been more prevalent and brings the depth of my emotions and visions to the surface for the viewer to appreciate on a deeper level. The textures in my work may symbolize the natural elements of the earth that I love, while the smoother and angular areas of my work are the vibrations and geometry of major cities and tighter areas of congestion. I am more concentrated these days with my emotions and how I feel them—I talk less and am quieter so that I can feel these things stronger. I believe this is the power inside that enables me to bring more energy and depth to my work. I’m excited about the ‘Intersection’ I currently stand at in this moment in time, and I look forward to those ahead.” – Monty Montgomery

Montgomery’s works will be on view at Sparks Gallery from March 10 – April 28, 2024 with a reception on Saturday, March 23, 2024 from 5-8pm.

Past Kaleidoskull "EXOSKELETON" exhibition at Gamut gallery in Minneapolis, MN.

Posted on May 12, 2023
Kaliedoskull
Exoskeleton – A collaborative exhibit with Monty Montgomery and Tony Philippou known as Kaleidoskull, together the duo’s paintings and drawings utilize the insect as a form of armor and anonymity.

Exoskeleton Purchasing Link

Originally introduced at the Sound of Art Exhibition in New York over 15 years ago, Monty Montgomery & Tony Philippou merged their unique artistic styles into Kaleidoskull, blending figurative realism and abstract geometry. Tony’s contrasting realistic human and animal forms emerge out of the structure of Monty’s precise angles of bold color, textures, and shapes.

Kaleidoskull’s latest series of works featured in Exoskeleton utilize insects as representations of the literal and metaphorical translation of our defense mechanisms we use to protect ourselves physically and emotionally. Together the duo constructs visual imagery that relates to our sense of wonder at the exquisite beauty of things masked, yet revealed. Each figure in their paintings and drawings is combined with an insect as a form of armor and anonymity. Monty and Tony wish to connect with viewers through their world of imagination, inspiring the audience to feel empowered and engaged with the world they have created.

Born and raised in the Bronx, Kaleidoskull Co-Founder Tony Philippou draws upon his own mixed cultural Puerto-Rican/Greek heritage, growing up during the burgeoning hip-hop era of the 1980s. Immersed in a culturally rich environment in his formative years, while experiencing and being surrounded by extreme poverty, enhanced his life in every aspect. As a father, he has made a conscious effort to create images of heroic women that his daughter can relate to and feel empowered by.

Profoundly affected by his upbringing in the rural Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Kaleidoskull Co-Founder Monty Montgomery’s work has always been informed by the visceral and emotional reactions to his daily experiences, whether exploring nature or trekking the streets of downtown. The divergent settings of the natural landscape and city streets imprint Monty’s artistic expression with a collision of color theory, mathematics, and abstraction; materializing into a single, unified vision.

Inspired by their combined love of geometric and organic forms, Montgomery and Philippou endeavored to create a new aesthetic that exhibited the beauty, strength, and contrast of the design elements intersecting women, insects, and color theory. Boundaries are intended to be pushed in the realm of art, design, and the remarkable synergy between nature and geometry as a definitive force.

PUBLIC OPENING:
Saturday, May 13th • 6-10pm
$10 presale, $15 day of the event

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Tony Philippou was born in The Bronx, NY and attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. He currently lives and teaches in Orlando, Florida. He has been a Fine-Artist for over 20 years, but originally started out as a freelance illustrator and designer in NY, Tony blended his communication and design skill set with his love for Painting. Tony explores themes of urban decay, fashion, societal trends, and contemporary subjects with aesthetic techniques inspired by Renaissance portraiture, Graffiti, and Fantasy Illustration.

As a young New Yorker with a very unique imagination, he would often conjure images of warriors and heroes who would traverse his imaginative landscapes. By experimenting with different styles and art-historical genres, Philippou depicts detailed moments that focus on both individual and universal experiences. Contrast and balance are ever present in his paintings as a mechanism for impact and readability. His work has been seen in Major Galleries across the US from New York to Los Angeles, as well as the Honolulu Museum of Art School in Hawaii and has artwork in the permanent Collection of the Urban Nation Contemporary Art Museum in Berlin, Germany.

Monty Montgomery was born and raised in Virginia and earned his BFA from Longwood University in 1998. He currently lives in San Diego, Ca. Monty began exhibiting his work professionally in 2002. In 2008 Montgomery launched the next chapter of his career by moving to a new studio in San Diego, CA. In recent years he has begun focusing on collaborative projects with other artists that play with the juxtaposition of disparate styles with the goal of stretching the boundaries of what each artist does individually. The first in 2012 was the “Kreashun Project” with J Feather and in 2016 he launched the “Kaleidoskull Project” with Tony Philippou. Both of these ongoing collaborations continue to evolve as does his personal work, each feeding off the other.

Montgomery loved black lines and bright colors at a very young age and was influenced by his mother who was a kindergarten teacher. Early memories of coloring books with bold lines and borders left an impression that reflects in his work to this day. In his teen years, Monty discovered that he connected to the world a bit differently; the realization that he was profoundly absorbing emotional and physical energy from every experience in his path led him to interpret that energy and channel it into unique creative expressions. In his junior year at Longwood University, he launched Cilli Original Designs and began spreading his word through clothing, paintings, poetry, stickers, and culture.

The LCVA’s widely anticipated biennial gala is the best attended event of its kind in the region. All proceeds support the LCVA’s community outreach programs. More than 500 attendees will delight in an elegant evening while enjoying heavy hors d’oeuvres, an open bar, and live music. A live auction, featuring fine arts and crafts, complements a sale gallery. 

We envision the LCVA as a place for everyone, and we take that “place” with us no matter where we go. The 2020 gala theme Dream, invites you to join us in letting our hopes and aspirations for the future run free.  In the past, our collective dreaming brought life to the LCVA as it exists today, whether that is an exhibition in downtown Farmville, or hands-on interdisciplinary art activity in classrooms in our 14-county service area.  We continue to dream about who we can become when we work together to be the change we wish to see in our community.

Posted on September 15, 2019

Excited to finally share that after signing on with the Louisa Arts Center in early 2016 for this upcoming September 2019 exhibition, the moment is now upon us. “Geometric Sandbox” will open on Friday, September 27, 2019 from 6-8pm inside the Purcell Gallery at the Louisa Arts Center in my hometown of Louisa, Virginia. I am so honored to exhibit at this Historic location and to be surrounded with so many memories of where I was raised. The exhibition will reflect upon my artistic path from early years as a little boy creating on the kitchen table with my Mom, Dianne Montgomery, and building things in the shop with my Dad, Steve Montgomery. The memories of my sandbox in the woods outside of Mineral, Virginia and the elements of Virginia nature is where it all began. This “Geometric Sandbox” I now call my career, began many, many years ago in Louisa, Virginia. The exhibition will feature very early works from my childhood, mid career paintings of pop culture and flow into my current visuals of abstract geometry. Thank you to the entire Louisa Arts Center FAMILY for this amazing opportunity to return HOME and share my creations. I look forward to all of the wonderful moments with everyone.

A visual of “Geo #87” below will be the featured image on the postcard invitations with the details on the backside which will be distributed starting in July! This original painting on cradled birch panel with aerosol and liquid acrylic will also be featured in the exhibition.

 KALEIDOSKULL “Siberian Griffin” will be featured in the Longwood University Alumni exhibition.

“Siberian Griffin” | Gamblin Oil – Montana Gold aerosol on cradled birch panel with UV gloss varnish | 14″ x 14″ x 1.5″

Originally introduced…

at a Sound of Art Exhibition in NY over 15 years ago, Tony Philippou & Monty Montgomery have now decided to partner together to explore a unique artistic vision. A blend of figurative realism, abstract geometry and urban themes. Contrasting organic and physical forms against the hard precise angles of bold color and shape is where the duo flourish.

Separately they work on concepts, color theory and lighting choices. At which point they will collectively review sketches for final decisions before embarking on the execution phase for their painted works and murals.

Their partnership is aimed at constructing visual imagery that is pleasing to the viewer.  They would love to do nothing more than appeal to your sense of wonderment and exquisite beauty.

Visit KALEIDOSKULL : www.kaleidoskullart.com

 

The Longwood Center for the Visual Arts is a collaborative forum for students and faculty of Longwood University and the people of South Central Virginia to explore visual art and its relevance to everyday life.

Past “TINT” group exhibition at Gamut Gallery in Minneapolis, MN May 4 – June 7 2019

Posted on May 4, 2019

TINT

EXHIBIT OPENING​​
 Saturday, May 4th 7-10pm, $5
Featuring all OUT-OF-STATE ARTIST:  Bret Brown, Cary Reeder, Human Shaped Animal, Judit Just Anteló, Monty Montgomery, NERS Neonlumberjack, Neal Breton and Nick Wilkinson.

Curator and Artist Neal Breton met Gamut Gallery through blindly submitting and being selected in Gamut’s open Call for Work in fall of 2016. He quickly established a long lasting partnership with the gallery by participating in Sq2 the following year. Breton found the gallery to be an ideal venue for putting together TINT, a group show with color being its unifying thread, a concept he’s been developing for years.

“Any artist worth their salt is always looking for a space where their work becomes economically viable,” Breton says. I want to give something back to the artistic community. I saw what a great gallery Gamut was, and I wanted to share the value of exhibiting here with other artists from around the country.”

When Breton conceived the exhibit, he had something a bit different from the average show in mind. The world has become much smaller in recent years, and Neal’s goal was to bring a broad, worldly perspective in color together under one roof. To accomplish this, Neal and Gamut Gallery Director, Cassie Garner, selected artists approaching color from opposite poles. Half of the artists stick to geometric rules while the other half explores more organic forms. These approaches come together in a field of color to create a juxtaposition of forms that collide in a way that transcends reason and thought, encouraging the viewer to be present and experience the immediacy of the moment.

Garner shared Breton’s goal and proved an ideal accomplice. “We workshopped a list of artists that we both wanted in the exhibit. That was the most fun part—it was like picking our favorite players to be on the team.” The vibrant out-of-state dream team roster includes artist Neal Breton, Monty Montgomery, Bret Brown, Cary Reeder, Human Shaped Animal, Judit Just Anteló, NERS Neonlumberjack, and Nick Wilkinson. Together they produce an exhibit full of textures, salvaged materials, paintings and sculptures that invite the viewer to appreciate the work through their eyes rather than their thoughts.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Neal Breton combines acrylic paint, gouache, and spray painting to create flat, simple fields of color. Starting with a sketch from the book he carries everywhere, Neal creates works that communicate as little as possible through detailed lines; he prefers to let the variance of colors create depth, shadow, and intention. Inspired by the color, flora, and fauna of California, where this native East Coaster landed at a young age, Neal also includes graffiti, early pop art, graphic design, architecture, and California’s strange and beautiful people among his palette of influences. Rather than chasing commercial success, this self-taught artist works with what speaks to him, crafting a series of notions that reflect the joy his creative process.

Monty Montgomery uses his intuition about color and the physical relationships between objects to create an emotional language that connects the viewer with his work, art that reflects his Blue Ridge Mountain roots. Visceral and emotional reactions to daily experiences inform Monty’s work. Since his teen years, he’s expressed his perception of the external world by blending conflicting elements into seamless harmony through color theory, mathematics, and abstraction to create unique geometric style.

California-based painter/illustrator Bret Brown uses acrylic, oil, collage, photo-transfer, found object, graphite, ink, spray paint, and a variety of other media to create his symbolic, abstract, and at times playful art. Heavily influenced by Southern Californian pop, surf, punk, and skate cultures, Bret crafts personal, emotional, psychological paintings that are also influenced by the Buddhist concepts of scale invariance, samsara, impermanence, and interconnectedness. Shifting away from recognizable form, Bret utilizes a deconstructive process to inspire viewers to find multifaceted meaning in his work.

After moving to Houston in 1996, Miami, Florida native Cary Reeder spent more than a decade as a graphic artist and typesetter. Her work has been featured in local, regional, and national juried exhibitions, and in solos shows at Mystic Lyon, Galveston Arts Center, Optical Project, and Lawndale Art Center. In 2013 she was awarded an Individual Artist Grant from the Houston Arts Alliance and in 2014 was a Hunting Prize Finalist. Cary has been featured twice in New American Paintings. She teaches at Art League Houston.

After receiving a B.A. in Painting and Digital Design from Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania, Human Shaped Animal aka ​Rachel Barnes​ packed up her soul and embarked on a journey cross country. After experiencing the West Coast, she became enamored of the region’s ever-changing landscapes and the energy they emanated. She relocated to Santa Cruz, where she dove into life as a mural artist creating large-scale work based on geometric shapes and the natural world, seeking the balance between the two. Rachel’s work integrates live, organic material with bold color schemes.

NERS Neonlumberjack bikes suburban neighborhoods and city streets collecting detritus he uses to create his art. “When was the last time that you picked up something dead? A deceased butterfly, a bone found deep in the woods?” he asks. “Our curiosity is most certainly inviting us to the tactile sensation, the up-close study of the things we are supposed to fear.” His work indulges his own curiosity and love for specimens, and invites viewers to explore that curiosity for themselves. He adds pattern to salvaged materials—wood, bone, stone, feathers, canvas—to create an access point that invites viewers to look, to touch, to hold that bone. Though his work deals with death and the trashing of the planet, he also wants the viewer to experience the joy of the life that was part of the whole experience.

Nick Wilkinson lives and works on California’s Central Coast. Beyond having a full time painting practice, and owning a specialty plant nursery, Nick has been Director of LEFT FIELD Gallery since early 2015. He has also shown his own work in galleries across the country. Notable exhibitions include Body High, a 3-person show at Tiger Versus Asteroid along side Rema Ghuloum and John Mills as well as many other group shows such as: Does It Make a Sound at Ochi Gallery in Ketchum Id, Zing Zam Blunder, Harbinger Projects, Reykjavik, Iceland, Curated By Brian Scott Campbell (2017); From Here, Flourescent Gallery, Knoxville, TN., Curated By Zach Searcy (2016); Out of the Great Wide Open, Museum of Contemporary Art, Santa Barbara, CA. (2015);  Ducks, curated by Ryan Travis Christian, Greenpoint Terminal Gallery, Brooklyn, NY (2014); Thresholds, SLO Museum of Art, SLO, CA. (2013)

WOW x WOW is incredibly proud to present Beyond the Untold, our largest group show of 2018. The exhibition features over 80 international artists and consists of close to 100 brand new artworks.Within every visual artist’s quest lies the desire to communicate ideas, to tell stories and to evoke emotions in their audience. The process of creating is different for everyone, but often, the tiny seed of an initial concept is given the space to grow in the artist’s mind, in order to reach it’s full potential. The incomplete unspoken narrative is allowed to ferment, then through the creative process it is further tweaked, refined and pushed into a mysterious and magical realm ‘Beyond the Untold’.

All sales will be on a first come, first served basis. Purchases can be made through the website, either with a debit/credit card or via PayPal. In the unlikely event that you encounter any issues, please email us at and we will be happy to assist.

Past LCVA Winter Gala and Silent Art Auction on Saturday, March 3, 2018 8pm at Longwood University in Farmville, VA

Posted on March 2, 2018

I was honored to be a part of the Silent Auction this year at the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts “Winter Gala”. “Fractal #66” was featured and sold in the auction and a portion of the proceeds went to support the LCVA’s community outreach programs.

The Longwood Center for the Visual Arts invites you to participate in its 2018 black tie biennial winter gala, held on Saturday, March 3, 2018 in the Blackwell Ballroom of the Maugans Alumni Center on Longwood University’s campus in Farmville, Virginia.

More than 500 attendees will delight in an elegant evening while enjoying heavy hors d’oeuvres, an open bar, and live music with Richmond’s own En’Novation. A silent auction features fine arts and crafts ranging in value from $50 to $4,000.

The LCVA’s widely anticipated winter gala is the best attended event of its kind in the region. All proceeds support the LCVA’s community outreach programs. We envision the LCVA as a place for everyone, and we take that “place” with us no matter where we go. This core mission informs all that we do. Our vision is woven into the theme of this year’s biennial gala, and conveyed through the hospitality pineapple, a widely recognized symbol of welcome. It reflects the LCVA’s role in our community – we are a place of welcome and hospitality, no matter where we are – a classroom in Buckingham county, a building on Longwood’s main campus, a nationally distributed book, an LCVA curated exhibition on view in another town (or country), and, of course, our vibrant downtown galleries in historic Farmville.

A limited number of early entry ticket packages and individual tickets are now for sale online. You can now purchase tickets online by visiting https://one.bidpal.net/lcvagala/ticketing, or by contacting LCVA Program Coordinator Lucy Carson at or 434.395.2390.

Current mural at Childrens Hospital of Richmond and Past “LIVE” mural at the Virginia Children’s Book Festival October 13-15 2016 in Farmville, Virginia at Longwood University

Posted on February 16, 2018

It was an honor to be back at my Alma Mater, Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia to participate in the 2016 Virginia Children’s Book Festival. I collaborated with my great  friend, TODD PARR! Todd is a San Francisco Bay Area children’s author and illustrator, who reveals about himself, ‘I like fog. I like the sea lions and the dolphins. I like to paint. My favorite color is blue. My favorite food is macaroni and cheese.’ The VCBF is pleased to have Parr return for the third year and I am so honored to work beside this amazing human being!

BeWhoYouAreMuralWebnews

VCBFPoster2016Web

Over the three day festival we created a “LIVE” mural using many of Todd’s characters combined with a feel of my various series of works. The coolest part of this mural is that the kids and adults at the festival created with us! A total group effort which will bring a positive message for our youth and be filled with amazing energy for everyone! The “LIVE” collaborative mural came to life in the main gallery of Bedford Hall October 13th through 15th on the Longwood University campus. The mural was displayed at Centra Southside Community Hospital for a couple months and will now be dedicated to Virginia’s children at it’s permanent home, the Children’s Hospital of Richmond. It was so awesome creating with kids from all over the map. The VCBF is always looking for helping hands, physically and financially. Their mission, as Juanita Giles, executive director, reminds us ‘is to create a culture of literacy in our region in particular and our Commonwealth at large.

Current Kreashun TARGET Express mural in the South Park neighborhood of San Diego, CA | Completed 2015

Posted on February 11, 2018

This 105′ x 11′ permanent mural titled “SOUTH PARK” was completed in 2015 and is currently featured at the Target express in the South Park neighborhood of San Diego, California.

The goal of this mural was to relate to the local South Park residents by incorporating special nuances that they would notice and appreciate. From the historic clock face on the opposite street corner to the tree at the parking lot entrance, from the original 1900’s trolley that ran down the street to the flight of the hummingbirds that are native through this region, we wanted to reference the special features of this beloved neighborhood. Our hope is that residents and shoppers alike will love and appreciate the mural as much as we relished creating it.

The seven-foot-tall rabbits were commissioned in May 2017 to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Gaslamp Quarter’s original settlement. The reception will have ten of the fifteen sculptures on display, the artists who created them, refreshments, and an appearance of an exotic live rabbit from the San Diego House Rabbit Society.

150 years ago, the area that is now the Gaslamp Quarter was jokingly nicknamed, “Rabbitville” after its chief inhabitants. The “Rabbitville” exhibition honors the pioneering spirit of legendary founder, Alonzo Horton, who transformed Rabbitville into modern San Diego. Local artists who have participated in the creation of these unique sculptures are, Erick Diaz, Carly Ealey, Matt Forderer, Mario Herbelin-Canelas, Tasha Hobbs, Monty Montgomery, Rebecca Nuvoletta, Kelly Schott, Lee Sie, Sarah Soward, Steven Van, Siks 1, John Wismont, and the staff at Warner Bros. Television marketing division.

The Gaslamp Quarter Association is also partnering with Sparks Gallery for this event. Sparks Gallery has not only restored the 1887 Sterling Hardware Building, but also was an integral part in submitting artists to be considered for this historic public art project.

“It is remarkable that in only a century and a half we were able to grow into the commercial core of America’s eighth largest city,” says, Michael Trimble, Executive Director of the Gaslamp Quarter Association. “Alonzo Horton was a visionary leader who set a precedent of hard work and determination still very much alive in the Gaslamp Quarter. We have been so impressed that the “Rabbitville” exhibitions have educated and inspired the next generation of pioneers in San Diego.”

Past “Free to be You” group benefit exhibition at the Louisa Arts Center on Saturday, January 20, 2018 12-8pm in Louisa, VA.

Posted on January 15, 2018
The Purcell Gallery at the Louisa Arts Center hosted “Free to be You,” an art show with a community cause featuring donated works by Artist’s from across the Country. This exhibition is part of the student’s blue Ridge Virtual Governor’s School (BRVGS) Senior project and is curated by high school senior, Kat Loewenstein. The event functions as a benefit-opportunity for the Louisa faction of the American Legion Auxiliary (ALA). The overall purpose of this exhibit was to raise money so that the Louisa ALA can send more juniors to the 2018 Virginia Girls State, as last year the group was only able to send three girls in total. I was honored to be included in this exhibit and to donate “Moment #12″ 18″ x 18″ x 1.5” hand embellished, archival pigment print to this wonderful cause in my home town! Thank you to my dear friends Randy and Cricket Edmonson, Pam Butler, and Stephanie Arner for also donating their beautiful works for this event.
Cathrynn (Kat) Loewenstein was one of three 2017 Virginia Girls State delegates from Louisa County High School, an opportunity that was awarded to her by the Louisa faction of the American Legion Auxiliary (ALA). Since this experience had a transformational effect upon this young woman, she has decided to dedicate her senior year to “paying back” and sharing this phenomenal leadership and community contingency. As the American Legion Auxiliary has expressed a need for more funds in order to continue on with this impressive tradition,

Kat decided the best “thank you” she could give the ALA for their kindness was an event that collected resources to do just that. Due to Kat’s personal passion for photography, painting, and creative writing, she decided to create and execute a show that would serve as a charity to help those in her community. Therefore, the overall goal of this art show is to raise $900+ to send at least three girls to the 2018 Virginia Girls State, a “thank you” that will allow all future delegates and featured artists the freedom to be themselves.

Past “LIVE” mural at the 2017 Virginia Children’s Book Festival October 19-21 2017 in Farmville, Virginia at Longwood University

Posted on October 22, 2017

It was so awesome being back at my Alma Mater, Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia to participate in the 2017 Virginia Children’s Book Festival.

 

I combined a bit of my colorful geometry with the Imagery of Illustrator / Author Peter Brown. Over the three day festival  a “LIVE” mural came to life  using many of Peter’s characters combined with a feel of my various works. The coolest part of this mural is that the kids and adults at the festival created it with us! A total group effort which brought a positive message for our youth and filled everyone with amazing energy! The “LIVE” collaborative mural came to life in the main gallery of Bedford Hall October 19th through 21st on the Longwood University campus. We will soon place the mural permanently in a location.

"Past" Solo exhibit at ETNIA on Friday, April 15, 2016 in Atenas, Alajuela Costa Rica

Posted on January 15, 2016

Over a two week period eleven original works came to life at the “Jungle Studio” to be exhibited at ETNIA in Atenas, Alajuela, Costa Rica. The opening was on Friday, April 15, 2016 from 5-10pm. Camilo Garavito is a great new friend and the owner of ETNIA. He featured a “LIVE” band with local musicians along with tapas and homemade sangria through opening night for all whom attended. ETNIA became one of my favorite spots on my first journey to Atenas in November 2015 when I completed the newest “Nature Series” mural, “Moment #16” in the mathematics classroom with the students at New Summit Academy. I’m honored to announce that all eleven paintings have found new homes in Atenas. It was amazing to be there to create, exhibit, and spend time with the community!

OPENING RECEPTION: SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 2016 – SIX TO NINE PM

exhibition-pic-resonance

29 San Diego artists present their non-figurative work in an all-abstracts show. Without figurative grounding, vibrations, rhythms and energies in each work emerge. The movement of the painter’s brush stroke comes into focus… paint is pushed or pulled across each canvas differently in every piece. Light through a lens is captured without knowing subject or place. Colors stand boldly; lines are drawn; patterns repeat.

// Exhibition on view March 19 – May 8, 2016

Located in the Gaslamp Quarter of downtown San Diego, the Sparks Gallery is housed in the historic Sterling Hardware Building: 530 Sixth Avenue, San Diego 92101, between Market and Island. Parking is most available at the Park It On Market parking structure at 614 Market (and 7th) for $1 per hour ($10 flat rate after 6pm on Fri/Sat/Sun or $12 on Padres nights).

"Past" Group Exhibit "ZODIAC" at Gabba Gallery in Los Angeles, Ca

Posted on June 4, 2014

ZODIAC
Curated by Jason Ostro and Phil Santos
May 2 – May 23, 2015
Artists Reception: Saturday, May 2, 2015, 7pm – 11 p.m.

The Gabba Gallery presents Zodiac, an exhibition inviting the viewer to experience a myriad of interpretations of an age old driving force. Arriving in the 2nd millennia BC, astrology is, arguably, part of the human collective unconscious. In its’ broadest sense, astrology is humanities search for meaning in the sky. The Gabba Gallery has curated its’ almost 2000 sq. ft. gallery, with this search for meaning and what energies drive us. In this exhibit, the coming together of the artists’ exploration is an experience inviting you to discover different interpretations as they give rise to, and touch the viewer’s collective unconscious memories. The curiosity is palatable, to see what artists such as Mike Christy, with his other-worldly painting style, Andrea LaHue aka Random Act, with her layered and nature based paintings and Frank Forte and his love for the cartoon, craft.
“We are so driven by astrology, the stars drive each of us differently. So in this show we are excited to see what moves our artists. There is a lot of passion when it comes to the zodiac. We are harnessing it in art, and couldn’t be more excited.” Jason Ostro, Curator

Zodiac Exhibit Flyer
The artists included in Zodiac were hand-picked by curators Ostro and Santos to explore and share their unique visions of this ancient, deep-rooted and sometimes controversial subject of astrology and the zodiac, and are as follows:

Amy Smith, Andrea Lahue, Benedigital, Bleep Bloop, Cody Bayne, Craig Tinsky, Daisuke Okamoto, Daryll Peirce, Espana Garcia, Frank Forte, Gabe Larson, Gianni Arone, Jeremiah Allen Welch, Jessica Ward, Jinx Art, Joey Rotten, John Park, Keith Dugas, Kimberly Kite, Kristi Bockrath, Laurene Alvarado, MaryAncillaMartinez, Mary Hanson, Michael Pukac, Michele Waterman, Mike Bell, Mike Christy, Moncho1929, Monty Montgomery, Paul Hogue, Rene Gagnon, Scott Holloway, Septerhed, Toshee, Vakseen, Valerie Pobjoy, William Zdan

Here’s the event page on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/events/356313917888634/

Zodiac opens on May 2, 2015 and will be on view through May 23, 2015. A reception for the artists with DJ Sharper Image will be May 2nd at 7pm – 11pm

Sponsored by 7/11, Hubert’s and Perrier.

Past Exhibit “CAJA” at 423 West Gallery in Los Angeles, Ca. July 20th – August 17th, 2013

Posted on December 21, 2012

I had a painting in the group exhibit titled  “CAJA”, which is Spanish for “Box”. The exhibit is curated by Christopher Umana & Jennifer Mullins. Opening Reception was on July 27, 2013 6-9pm and the Exhibit will ran from July 20th through August 17th 2013.   Throughout history, humans have been enthralled and intrigued by the box.   It has been an object of curiosity even in its simplicity.  Examples include: Pandora’s box, coffins, gifts to one another, used for shipping later to be converted into children’s imaginary castle or fort, treasure chests, Jewish Dibbuk boxes.  However utilized, curiosity always gets the better of us and we must know what’s inside.

Past Exhibit at BURLAP in Del Mar area of San Diego, Ca. on Sunday, July 22, 2012!

Posted on December 24, 2011

I exhibited paintings at BURLAP in Del Mar, California on Sunday, July 22, 2012 from 9am until 3pm during the “BOOMING BRUNCH”. Introducing BURLAP, North County’s most anticipated restaurant opening and following up to acclaimed sister restaurant SEARSUCKER, from award winning BRAVO “TOP CHEF” finalist and one of the networks most talented celebrity chefs, Brian Malarkey and hospitality impresario James Brennan.

Burlap_Brunch0722

Located in the affluent coastal community of Del Mar, Burlap will follow in the footsteps of tremendously successful sister restaurant, Searsucker. Already a favorite of San Diego residents and visitors alike, Searsucker has been drawing an overflowing crowd since its first day open. Unlike Searsucker’s New American Classic Cuisine, Burlap’s offerings will be a hybrid of meat (raw, cooked and rotisserie), seafood, and bold sides with an Asian influence. Described in Malarkey’s playful tone as “Asian Cowboy” cuisine where the “West Eats Meat,” the menu will be divided into simple categories including: Land, Ocean, Rotisserie, Raw, Bowl, Stick, and Ours. Dishes will be paired with local craft beer, a selection of one-of-a-kind wines from all over the world, and handcrafted cocktails.

Past Exhibit at Gallery AKA in the North Park area of San Diego, Ca.

Posted on March 28, 2010

Many of you have had the pleasure to meet Samson, the Gallery AKA mascot, and you know how important Samson is to his many friends and family. Unfortunately, Samson has been diagnosed with Stage III Lymphoma cancer, which is deadly if left untreated. The good news is with proper chemotherapy treatment, Samson can recover from the cancer and live a normal life in remission. The not-so-good news is that the treatment is very costly, $7,500 to be exact, and we need some help to raise funds for Samson.

Save-Sammy-Bones-850x400

We are asking our close friends and family to join us in our efforts to raise enough money for treatment. Gallery AKA will host the “Save Sammy Bones!” event on Thursday, December 9th, (7 PM to 11 PM) and we invite you to attend. With a $20 entrance donation, you will receive free raffle tickets and be entered to win amazing prizes donated from local artists, restaurants, clothing designers, and Disconnected Salon. In addition to the raffle, we will hold an auction for fabulous products from participating local businesses. Did we mention there will be a hosted bar? Please come to the Save Sammy Bones! event and help save Samson’s life.

With your help, Samson can beat cancer. We appreciate your good-will, positive thoughts and prayers during this time.
Sincerely,
Samson’s Friends

Past Exhibit at Mosaic Gallery in the North Park area of San Diego

Posted on March 27, 2010

I was part of the group exhibit at Mosaic Gallery for the month of November 2010. I featured 6 paintings at the  Art Meets Fashion Fringe event through the San Diego Visual Arts Network.  The event itself was designed around the Jeans 4 Justice non-profit, which raises awareness about sexual assault prevention. The night of the event the artists featured pairs of jeans that were hand painted, which were sold with all proceeds going to the Jeans 4 Justice Program. This event was amazing and a super success! Below is an example of the jeans I painted!

Past exhibit at True North in the "North Park" area of San Diego, Ca.

Posted on March 26, 2010

I had a solo exhibit of 8 paintings through October 2010 at True North. True North is a laid back neighborhood spot offering a unique atmosphere and experience with something for everyone. Just off North Park’s bustling University Avenue, it’s the ideal place for social gatherings and special events. At night, expect to find a packed house with DJs spinning funk, 80s, urban beats and billboard favorites. A few pics from the show are in the “photos” page.
