Catharsis | Crucial Steps

Summer-Fall 2011

Created during my residency at the Gateway Arts Center in Brentwood, MD, I was transitioning residences, battling bad habits, and forcing myself to grow. Throughout many late-nights at my studio, I created these two series that deal with spatial depth, metaphoric imagery, and depicting rich texture.

Featured Exhibitions:

Catharsis series, in Created In Our Own Way at Gateway Arts Center, Dec. 2011

Crucial Steps series, in Crucial Steps: New Artwork by Justin Fair  in Dec. 2011 at Prince George's Plaza Community Center, thanks to the Hyattsville Community Arts Alliance
