Big Draw Colorado

Tonight is the opening reception of the Big Draw Colorado exhibition at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities!

On view: June 8, 2023 through August 27, 2023.

I'm chuffed to not only be included alongside so many talented artists in this comprehensive exhibit focused on drawing but to also have my work selected for some of their promotional material.

As part of the gallery’s audio tour, you may listen to me talk about my drawing at this link.


What is a drawing? In this juried group exhibition, the Arvada Center Galleries invited contemporary Colorado artists to submit works that celebrate the traditional roots of drawing and challenge preconceived definitions of drawing through explorations in rendering, mark-making, gesture, abstraction, realism, form, medium, and beyond. ⁠
⁠
With 77 works from 71 artists, Big Draw Colorado illustrates the vast world of drawing across the state.⁠
