MAJOR COMMISSIONS
Fifty Faces of Cleveland, Inter|Urban Public Art Project, 2016.
Commissioned by Land Studio, Cleveland Foundation and Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority to produce fifty portraits of Cleveland-area creatives for installation in the Rapid Transit airport tunnel. Selected through a competitive review process, the work will be installed for at least five years and was part of a major $600,000 city-wide public art initiative in Cleveland.
The Winslow Homer Studio Project, 2012.
Commissioned by the Portland Museum of Art, Portland, ME. I was one of five artists who work in photographic processes contemporary to Winslow Homer that were selected to make new works inspired by Winslow Homer’s studio, the Prouts Neck seascape where it is situated and ephemera from the studio. These works were commissioned on the occasion of the museum’s acquisition and renovation of Homer’s studio.
