This year I'm celebrating my 10th year as an exhibiting artist. I've always wanted to be one and so for this miraculous occasion, I've put together the:
URBAN ZOO ART TOUR
20 stops, 3 sponsors, for 47 days of the Spring and Summer seasons, I'll be touring the city, exhibiting and sharing my latest pride in paintings and stuff: animals, both comforted and distressed, in an array of uncanny habitats, patterns, and behaviours. Pet with your eyes, not with your hands! Admission is free. Bring your family and bring your friends.
