Andrea and Paula got married last weekend, and I made a portrait of the two of them to celebrate their wedding!
Labor & Art & The Labor Of Art
It’s strange to think that six short years ago this building was the B&O Warehouse and I was acting in a performance piece that took over its seventh floor. Now it’s the Olympic Mills Commerce Center and I’m a painter in a group show in its gallery.
