HeART for HAITI

We're all aware of the devastation from the earthquake that hit Haiti's capital in January.  Many countries and organizations have responded with heartfelt humanitarian aid, pledging funds and doing whatever they can to assist in the aide and re-building of Haiti's capital.  The people of Port au Prince have lost so much and still need help, so here's what you can do...buy art.


Through the direction of Heart Art Productions, along with Sascha + Stephen MALLON, run red creative and agmac - many renowned photographers and artist's have donated works - for an auction to benefit the Haiti relief efforts.  All proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières.

Visit the HeART for HAITI website to browse and bid on the works.  Over 150 works by artists, such as: Stephen Mallon, Brian Finke, Hans Neleman, Martin Schoeller, Philip Toledano, Carey Kirkella, Greg Miller, Rodney White, Elizabeth Fleming, Jon Feinstein, Andrew Hetherington, and Paul Strand...to name a few.  A photograph, from my series 'Migration', is included in the lot as well. (Lot# 015)



















If you're in the NYC area this Wednesday, June 16th, you can head over to the Aperture Foundation's gallery to view the work and join the benefit party.

SLIDELUCK POTSHOW | Baltimore

On May 22nd I was back in my hometown of Baltimore, for the first Slideluck Potshow event there.  Happy to have had my work included and it felt good being back in 'Charm City' and around my undergrad stomping grounds of MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art).  The event was selected by B-more's City Paper as "Critic's Pick" for the night and was hosted at Gallery Four - voted "Best Art Gallery" by City Paper, 2009.

There was a strong mix of fresh & local artist works and some familiar photographers in bunch as well.  Some of the notable Baltimore based artist's included: Jonathan Hanson, Shane Carpenter, Dennis Drenner, and Jacqueline Schlossman.  Some familiar favorite's were: Andrew Hetherington, Mia Berg, Andreas Gefeller, Lisa Wiseman, Brad Farwell and of course Carey Kirkella.
