It is a common occurrence that my work gets to go more places than I do. After all, that is one of its jobs. Whereas my jobs require regular appearances in a UNT classroom or under the title role of ‘Mom’ in Fort Worth. This week I shipped Louver With Mask off to Brownsville, Texas for the Brownsville Museum of Fine Art's 48th International Art Show. For those of you not familiar with Brownsville, it is located at the very southern tip of Texas across from Matamoros, Mexico. I am very pleased that the work was accepted to an international exhibition at a museum even more so because of the highly esteemed juror, Christina Rees. Rees was the Editor-in-Chief at Glasstire from 2017-2021 and has served as an editor at The Met and D Magazine, as the full-time art columnist at the Dallas Observer. She was the owner and director of Road Agent gallery in Dallas for three years before serving as curator of Fort Worth Contemporary Arts from 2009 to 2013. Rees was also a recipient of the Rabkin Prize, a national $50k award for outstanding arts writing.
Go fourth little wall vent, and make your mamma proud!
