DOORS CLOSED

Over the last year, as part of my interest in the environment, I've started exploring some abandoned spaces around the area. I was amazed to find cathedrals of industry, still beautiful in decay. Along the way, I met fellow travelers, graffiti artists, scrappers, great photographers, and other adventurous spirits all appreciating these hidden treasurers in their own way. I am honored to have met them and to be included in the 'Doors Closed' exhibition.

The back of the show postcard lists this amazing group of photographers/urban explorers: Timothy Neesam, David Torke, Jeffery Cutler, MJ Worthington, Tammy Hoy and the incredibly talented Caroline Brockers. She's the one who brought us all together.

East Side Furnace

This colorful furnace sits open to the elements on the East Side of Buffalo. It was once part of a business that burned out and cleaned the insides of storage barrels.

'Jill Drops Her Pail'

It's the Chinese Year of the Cow! In Flushing, New York the community is celebrating with a huge summer long festival. Crossing Art, a beautiful gallery in the neighborhood has a show called 'Oh Cow' featuring artwork in this theme. My large pastel & charcoal drawing is part of the exhibit. I am feeling very honored to be in this great space.
