Hello from Ohio!


Update 7/9/10:


The Deep Space: Ohio Photographers exhibition at the Ohio Arts Council's Riffe Gallery is right around the corner!  It will run from July 29 – October 17, 2010 and the opening reception will be on Thursday, July 29th from 5-7pm.  Jaime and I will both be there and look forward to seeing the show, meeting the other artists, and gallery attendees.

You can view additional information about the exhibition here.

Before the reception, Jaime and I will be participating in a video interview with the Ohio Channel about our pieces in the exhibition.  I am excited about this video, as it marks a decade's journey of working with Jaime throughout our various art endeavors.

There are some great interviews with other Ohio artists, including fellow Miami University Grad Alum, Brent Payne.  You can check out these interviews here.

Thank you to the Riffe Gallery Staff and Marcella Hackbardt, Curator of Deep Space: Ohio Photographers, for picking 3 of our "Nesting" images for this exhibition.

Thanks for visiting!

I am happy to announce that I was selected to be one of two jurors for Cleveland State University's 39th Annual Student Show!  This is a great honor for me and I am very excited about this opportunity.

The opening reception is Friday, April 2, 2010 and the exhibition will run for 6 weeks.  Hope to see you there and check out their site: Cleveland State University Art Gallery

On a side note, I started forwarding my other site, SharpenYourTeeth.com, to this domain since it is much easier to only update one site.  I will keep SharpenYourTeeth.com for possible future projects and the email: kelly@sharpenyourteeth.com is still active.

Recently, one of our nesting images has made it into the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey's 24th International Juried Exhibition, juror: Susan Kismaric, MOMA Curator of Photography.  It is a fabulous honor to be selected and we look forward to seeing the show in 2010.

We also received news about our acceptance into Altered: National Juried Photography Exhibition at the University of West Florida's Art Gallery in Pensacola, FL.  The international artist, Tomiko Jones, was the juror for this exhibition.

5 pieces were selected by the talented Taryn Simon, photographer and Guggenheim fellow, for the current IMAGE/PROJECT juried exhibition at the Arlington Arts Center.  The images selected look great and we are excited about being a part of this show.

The exhibitions: Finding Middle Ground at the Dayton Visual Arts Center, and Beastiarium Vocabulum: Allegory of the Nature in Lecce, Italy went really well. Thank you to the staff at DVAC and Primo Piano!!

Jaime and I are currently working on a new body of work while we continue to promote the Hung, Drawn, and Quartered series.
