Since the early 1970’s many have known The Birdhouse to be a place where community activists, artists, and neighbors gather together to discuss ideas, share skill, and celebrate each other through artistic expression. Until 2002, the Birdhouse was fondly named “The Neighborhood Center”, a moniker given when the Birdhouse was orginally donated to 4th & Gill in the 1970’s by a realtor who longed to see the neighborhood have a gathering place.

A reception will take place on Friday, March 6, from 5:00-9:00 PM as part of First Friday activities

A Place Within was created from a state of contemplation and exploration. It is an extension of the processes and ideas of previous works. In these paintings, I examine how each layer interacts with the next. There is a sense of sublime expression as I investigate the human condition. The frailties and hardships of humanity are reflected in the disruptive processes, as I reference the sublime spiritual aspects through the washes of pigments and the synergy found within the hues. Many of the paintings from this collection were created in Skopelos, Greece. The mountainous landscapes paired with the endless ocean views created an atmosphere of divine inspiration. The beauty and simplicity of the island are reflected in the mystical landscapes in this collection as the disruptive qualities allude to the universal human condition. Through exploring the transcendental qualities found in my processes and metaphorical connections, I aim to delineate a sense of hope while providing an environment that is conducive for a visceral experience.
