Biketoberfest at Catalyst Gallery

 

Time to Get Outdoors - Biketoberfest at Catalyst Gallery

Biketoberfest is a Sustain Charlotte’s signature event -- and my drawings are part of it.

Join me at Catalyst Gallery, 255 W Martin Luther King Jr Blvd., on Sunday October 11th from noon to 4:30 PM. This one-of-a-kind community adventure enables you to explore Charlotte’s diverse neighborhoods, visit local businesses, and discover the people, places, and experiences that make our city special.

How does it work? Sustain Charlotte creates a route through Uptown and multiple surrounding neighborhoods, featuring stops at local artists, landmarks, parks, greenways, and other destinations.

Explore in your own way while biking, walking, scootering, or using public transit (maybe even combining a few!).

The adventure ends in an after-party at Triple C Brewing (Our favorite) featuring live music, local vendors, food and drinks for purchase, and Triple C’s limited-release Biketoberfest Beer. And most importantly there are raffle drawings for a chance to spend an afternoon in the studio with me and Maura!

Scaled UP!

 

Want to be WOWED? Scaled UP!

The Center for Visual Artists in Greensboro displayed my six-foot-tall Climate Conversation Drawing in the Scaled UP! Exhibit in August and September.

Scaled UP, a captivating showcase of larger-than-life artworks that promise to transform the way we engage with visual art. This show brings together an array of oversized works, each measuring greater than 36x48 inches creating an immersive, awe-inspiring experience for our community.

Personally, I was wowed by this exhibit, which is hard to do as I’ve seen many art exhibits. The scale of the work transfixed me.
