Curator, Preston Metcalf, visits my studio

My artwork was on display at the Triton Museum of Fine Art in 2017. I was featured with other disabled artists for the Triton Museum of Fine Art ArtsAbled Exhibition. Preston Metcalf, the Curator for Trition Museumm of Fine Art, came to my studio to select the work he wished to hang.  I thought he would need to narrow it down to a few pieces, but instead, he said he didn’t wish to choose and wanted to hang much more of my artwork than had been planned. Yay! He selected all of my large multi panel pieces as well as my redwood framed wildlife series, and some larger pieces like my Alligator, and the Millennium Falcon. I was able to visit the museum while the exhbition was being hung to get a preview. I wish everyone could see my work hung like this all the time. Some day I will have a gallery to display everything.

I even had sets of notecards for sale and my special collector business cards that each have an image of one painting on the back.
