Las Laguna Gallery, Laguna Beach, CA "It's Still Political" November 7 - 29, 2019
Though it's often divisive and inflammatory, we can't avoid politics in today's world. The intrinsic beliefs and opinions that shape us as human beings can almost always be seen in a political light.
My work, "KRYPTONITE," was selected by Las Laguna Gallery for their show of art that expresses all things political regardless of party or belief systems. The quote in the background of my work is Gandhi's "The things that will destroy us..." The complete quote is: “There are seven things that will destroy us: wealth without work; pleasure without conscience; knowledge without character; religion without sacrifice; politics without principle; science without humanity; business without ethics.” — Mahatma Gandhi
This exhibition hopes to explore or continued political discourse with the use of imagery to make the point of our current state of the nation.
KRYPTONITE 15.5” x 12.5” signed, printed and numbered by the artist in a limited edition of 50.

Kelwood Contemporary Art, Baton Rouge, Louisiana: "Finding Your Voice" September 6 - October 14, 2018
Artists have used their voice to shed light on social, historical and political issues throughout history - Daumier providing commentary on the politics of 19C France; Picasso’s Guernica bringing attention to the horrors of the Spanish Civil War; Harlem Renaissance artists shedding light on the African American Experience; WPA artists illustrating life in the Great Depression and the plight of the poor.
We are living in a period where it seems like people are finding their voice, and yet there is no conversation. The dialogue between disparate voices is not happening. Art can provide an opening to the discourse by showing issues through a new perspective and telling stories through a voice you hadn’t yet heard.
My voice and my perspective as an artist dealing with civil rights and the internment of Japanese American Citizens was selected by the jury for this competition. ALL is a 15” x 10.75” pigment ink image on 17" x 11" archival paper from a mixed media lithograph; printed by the artist in a limited edition of 50, signed and numbered with certification of authenticity.
The intention with this show is to give voice to the full spectrum of stories and experience. Through a series of gallery talks and community discussions it is hoped that a dialogue will start to promote understanding.
