Normal is Boring--first exhibit

 My collage "Normal is Boring" was selected to be on display at Able Artists Gallery in Tallahassee, FL, as part of the Artists and Autism: Celebrating Neurodiversity Exhibit. I'm very excited!! Opening to the exhibit will be April 1st for First Friday in the Railroad Square Art District.

Here is the explanation of the piece: "The colors depict the rainbow of diversity. The words in the background are the voices around that may or may not make any sense. The colorful sections of the brain work, but maybe not in a linear sequence, and the puzzle pieces are the scattered thoughts they deal with on a daily basis."

Works from the past week.

I also worked on an acrylic painting today. Here's the set up.
