Mastery: Sustaining Momentum Opens at the Dairy Barn Arts Center

It was an exciting week.  Mastery: Sustaining Momentum, an exhibit curated by Nancy Crow, opened at the Dairy Barn Arts Center in Athens, Ohio on May 27th.  The exhibit runs through November 27, 2016.  Twelve artist are represented by three major works each.  The work is consistently stunning.  In addition, each artist has several small works which present some of the processes of designing the larger works. I am honored to be a part of this exhibit.

Unfortunately, I did not do a very good job of photographing the exhibit.  I'm posting a couple here just so you can get an idea of what the space looked like.
