Solo Exhibition at the Carrollwood Cultural Center, Corridor and Alcove Galleries 2016
This exhibition was meant to showcase the different forms of art I had been experimenting with during my undergraduate degree.
3-D printed self-portrait busts, drawing, painting, and sculpture work were shown in the gallery space. I also displayed award ribbons I had won in local art competitions with my abstract paintings.
I also showcased some performance art on the night of the reception. This included a stage performance and previously photographed performance art happenings.
