Taking \Vancouver on the road & getting out of jail free!

It's been a busy couple of weeks but I've got 2 shows in April for those of you in a travelling mood!


\Vancouver

Langham Cultural Centre
Kaslo, BC
April 6 - May 5

Building on last year’s Britannia Gallery show, this solo exhibition features new cityscapes and lightboxes that continue to explore themes of ordinary beauty and how it relates to history and memory within our communities.

I will be on hand for the opening reception on Friday, April 6 from 7-9 pm, so if you're in the Kootenays with no plans for Easter weekend, you know where to be.

All new work is available for viewing online in my cityscapes section.

And for those of you craving California...

Get Out of Jail Free
Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Gallery

San Francisco

April 1 - 30

Last Meal: Stanley ‘Tookie’ Williams, the fourth painting in my continuing series on capital punishment will be shown as part of the Get Out of Jail Free exhibition in San Francisco. It will be on display April 1- 30 at the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Gallery with an Artists Reception on April 12.

From my artist statement -

The execution of Crips co-founder Stanley Tookie Williams in 2005 raised international debate in regards to the question of redemption vs guilt. A notorious gangbanger who later went on to write children’s book warning about the dangers of gang life, Williams was denied clemency by Governor Schwarzenegger for his refusal to admit guilt in the murders of which he was convicted. Williams refused the privilege of a last meal and instead had a bowl of oatmeal and milk.
