Painted for Guitar Doors a few hours before the release of their new book/CD Beats and Bars. My painting is a 12' x 9' replica of the book/CD cover done with spray paint on paper. Guitar Doors is an independent, non-profit, initiative that aims to provide connection and community to inmates through music. Through small-group, student-centered instruction, Guitar Doors stimulates those incarcerated to think and express themselves in new ways and teaches the rewards of working together as a community towards a common goal.

Artwork at The Portland Museum of Art's 2013 Biennial: Piece Work as a part of Rahul Mitra's piece "Box City", which is a collaboration with 33 Portland-based artists. Mitra has constructed other versions of his "Box City" with the help of street artists in cities throughout the world such as Paris, Turin, Delhi, and Houston. Shout out to Tim Clorius and Andy Coffin at SubOne.

The idea was to have each Portland-based artist choose from assorted boxes and milk crates and design them as they see fit. Below are pictures of my boxes and the Biennial.
