  COMMISSION!



I have been awarded a major commission to create two paintings for the University of Connecticut's Cell and Genome Sciences Building. 

The building was designed specifically to encourage collaboration among the more than 100 scientists housed there who are engaged in high-tech research across a diverse array of disciplines, from cell biology, chemistry, and genetics to physics, mathematics, and computer science.

  Earth to Canvas: Botanical Drawing Workshop



@ THE ALDRICH CONTEMPORARY ART MUSEUM

UPCOMING JULY 9, 2010

The garden planted as part of Fritz Haeg’s exhibition, Something for Everyone, will provide inspiration for an exploration of basic drawing skills. Participants will look closely at the garden as a whole, as well as its different components, think about ways of interpreting what they see, and how to translate this through drawing. The Museum provides materials; please bring a hat, sunscreen, and bag lunch.
