Here and There displays a variety of landscapes that have intrigued me in the past several years in my travels up the coast of the U.S., along the coast of Portugal, near Tavira, and in and around the Tampa Bay area.

The works in this exhibition reflect a way of seeing that's been developed over three decades of visual journalism across print, web, and broadcast. […]

The Black Art Matters Tampa Bay Collective (BAM Tampa Bay) presents Black Art Matters, celebrating the full spectrum of Black life, creativity, and imagination. The exhibits include portraits, landscapes, still life, abstraction, storytelling, fantasy, pop culture, memory, family, community, spirituality, love, play, or experimentation with materials and form.

After twenty years illustrating for advertising and major gaming studios, I kept returning to the same question: what does it mean to make something that simply is, that doesn’t sell a product or tell someone else’s story? This show is my answer. The work varies between overlooked moments, light cutting through ordinary scenes, and whimsical […]
