What is Art Hop: Art Hop is Ann Arbor's quirkiest art fair! It's held twice a year in the leafy, walkable neighborhood of Ann Arbor, Michigan's historic West Side
It's such a fun art show. I'll have numerous new pieces including some noted under the Exhibits page. As always, there will be limited edition prints and notecards.
PowerArt! 2024 Public Art Project: My painting, Daybreak, was on of 11 works selected by jury and then public vote. PowerArt! is an ongoing public art project that wraps the traffic signal boxes in downtown Ann Arbor with vinyl-printed replicas of local artists' work. What a fun and beautiful way to brighten the city and reduce graffiti.
Daybreak will be installed at the corner of S. Seventh and Pauline. I'll let you know once it's been installed, now delayed until Spring 2025.
