'Sophisticated Primitive' Contemporary Folk Art Pop
Mission
I have actively participated in the New Mexico art scene my entire adult life – from select gallery and museum shows to non-profit venues, large in-door events, outdoor venues, and private gatherings. My contribution to public arts has primarily been as a "fixture" or mainstay in the weekly Santa Fe outdoor show arena from 1985 - 2012 before I relocated to Albuquerque, NM. Since that time, I have been honored to have five NM State Fair appearances, two exhibits with the Albuquerque Museum Foundation's ArtsThrive, three exhibits to benefit the Corrales Old San Ysidro Church, and more than 20 exhibits (with distinct juries) at Fuller Lodge Art Center in Los Alamos, NM.
