Upcoming event! This Saturday, November 22, I will be showcasing prints and originals along with fellow local Virginia artists Sam Clayman(@art_vandelay_1983), Andy Harris(@4ndy8ch) and Chris Boylan at the Belmont House of Smoke. Show information is below. No entry fee so come support local art, listen to live music and knockout some holiday shopping while enjoying some adult beverages.
