AAP 103rd At The Westmoreland Museum Of American Art


An image from my new series Stranger Than Life was chosen for the AAP 103rd Annual Exhibition at the Westmoreland Museum Of American Art. Chief Curator Barbara L. Jones chose Lady Of The Mantel for inclusion among several other beautiful works from AAP members. The series is about our first encounters with the idea of death. The new project explores the way the mind of a child processes these emotions, oftentimes recreating events into stranger than life experiences.

The exhibition will be held June 1st through August 31st with an opening reception June 14th, 6:00PM-9:00PM. This exhibition is the oldest and longest continuing survey of regional art in the country. This showing has quite a record of past exhibiting artists including Henry Koerner, Samuel Rosenberg, Philip Pearlstein, Jonathan Borofsky, Peter Muller Munk, Virginia Cuthbert, Mary Cassatt, and Andy Warhol to name only a few. Averaging over 400 art lovers in attendance, the opening night remains an important event in the Pittsburgh arts community. This showing is especially important in this time of a rapidly growing Pittsburgh arts community acquiring national notice.
