Opening reception · Friday, July 31, 2026

You're invited to my show.

Hello,

I've got photography in In the Abstract, a group show at Olson-Larsen Galleries. It's been a while since I've shown my own work like this, and getting it off the hard drive and onto a gallery wall means a lot. It would be good to see you there.
