Bear Dive, a new gay bar in Sacramento, features Night of the Living Kinks and art for all kinds! Come by for live demos, raffles and jello shots! I’ll be there with a few of my recent paintings, talking about my work and recent showings at Lone Star Saloon and Barnwood Art Show.

BARNWOOD Art Show + Sale happens a few times a year and features queer drawings, photographs, paintings, ceramics and artwork of other mediums from dozens of artists based in New York’s Hudson Valley, New York City and beyond (including a set of images from California!). The event includes a celebration of the male form from nude to lewd and is dedicated to promoting the talents of our exhibiting artists and pricing their work affordably so that guests can support them.

Join me at Barnwood Fall 2021 for this year’s show, the one year anniversary, from Friday October 15th through Sunday October 17th.

The Lone Star Saloon is featuring The Lone Star Series, a collection that celebrates leather and prominent exhibition during the Folsom Street Fair. While studying fine arts at San Francisco State University, I was inspired by the cartoon-like styles of United Productions of America, where simple animation styles were visually appealing and portrayed the authenticity of the human condition. I keep returning to these works, baffled (but not surprised) that queer representation is lacking. My work celebrates the body and sex-positivity to help people feel seen and appreciated, moving us towards the reverence and beauty often distorted by those seeking to diminish our ability to thrive and age with dignity and love. All bodies have many sparks of magic, and through this exhibition, I invite you to see the loving-kindness and carnal embrace that each of these figures represents.
