If I had to pick a local artist to do my portrait it would be Clay Patrick McBride for sure. Clay is truly a master of light and lenses. His portraits capture the spirit and identity of his subjects. His approach is not cookie cutter setups. He approaches each assignment with a clean creative slate. Read more…

“The Days The Artists Spoke” series was really fun and interesting. Hearing from others about their artist statements and viewpoints was amazing. It was interesting to see the congruencies and incongruences between the art being presented and the process/statement of the art. It was also interesting to see how individuals came to find art and why they continued to do art. Read more…

My favorite past exhibition is Vanish, because of the powerful and thought-provoking message that the artists involved in it conveyed through their unique perspectives on loss. State of the City: Street-ish will always hold a special place in my heart though, because my earliest memory of RoCo takes place during this exhibit, when I stumbled upon the public artwork Sun Boxes by Craig Colorusso.
