NEW ART SERIES: "ROADKILL"

CLICK ON IMAGE ABOVE TO VIEW COLLECTION IN DETAIL

Do you feel the shift of collective power in the air as we approach this new year? I certainly do! If you have been paying attention to the state of our world environmentally, politically, and socially, there is a certain air around discovering and exercising new levels of individual sovereignty toward ending unhealthy cycles and making the moves to build real lasting and sustainable change towards a more just world.

My newest series, ROADKILL, addresses a point of view concerning our environment and the other species to whom we share this planet. I have developed clarity around my sense of our human plight as we approach 2026 with more drive to manifest a future that is connected to the needs of us, other species and our environment to foster a more collective awareness and stewardship for our joint flourishing on the planet we call home. 

That being said, my newest collection of work, ‘ROADKILL’ is now on view for purchase on my website. I ask you to read what ‘ROADKILL’ is about and its implications of a more environmentally conscious future. Let me know if it resonates with you by sending me a note on my ‘Contact’ page. (P.S. if you send me a note, I may send you a special holiday treat back for visiting my site!)

NEW EXHIBITIONS

If you follow me on Instagram, you will see my latest post that highlighted a huge accomplishment for me: my FIRST exhibition outside of Virginia!

One of my good friends, Shareef Mosby, the owner of the high-fashion Streetwear brand, VICTIM15, invited me to preview my Roadkill series at their 10 Year Anniversary Runway Show, Pop-up Activation, and After Party at Miami Art Basel! It was a high octane environment with the main inspiration for the collection being “Biker Gang Style” similar to what one sees in the movie “Biker Boyz”.

I was in Miami for a week with my wife, Anne, and spent time with my daughter and friend, Lily and Connor. We visited multiple Art Basel exhibitions which was a great get-away from the Virginia cold!

I was able to see various types of Art Basel Exhibitions, including the New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) Miami where Ra-Twoine Fields (pictured far left), Lead Curator and Owner of the Southside Contemporary Art Gallery, debuted at 'Art Militant' with art from Huey Lightbody and Mahari Chabwera! It was great to support so many artists working to increase their impact in this world with art! It was a privilege to work alongside and witness all of us growing together.

Be on the lookout for my next newsletter which will highlight when my Premier Exhibition for 'ROADKILL' will be presented in Richmond on First Friday at Black Iris Social Club!
