I'm thrilled to debut my detailed paintings of dudes in man caves on Saturday, November 28th, 2026 in a solo show titled Nine Bros! The art reception will last from 4:00-6:00 pm at Fotolab No. 7, 7 Center Street, Vermillion, SD. This exhibition will feature two large figure paintings I created with support from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation along with a third painting I made as a South Dakota Arts Council Fellow. This artwork is from my series of Brodalisques, which feature contemporary bros posed as classic odalisques. These complex oil on canvas compositions include plaid, pajamas, and my sense of humor. 

The Omaha Post-it Show is now on view at Radial Arts Center, 5915 Maple Street, Omaha, Nebraska. I submitted a little sketch to be part of this exhibition, and the closing reception will be Friday, October 30th from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.

The Vermillion Plain Talk published a short article about my exhibition at the William Havu Gallery titled, “Vermillion Artist Shows Works At Denver Exhibit.” My show is called Brodalisque, and it’s only display alongside Wes Hempel’s exhibition called Your Invitation.

Sometimes it’s necessary for me to make large paintings of dudes in man caves. After describing my painting titled Brodalisque with Minibike, I provide context by explaining why some 19th century artists made large paintings for the Paris Salon.

​My bros will be exhibited at the William Havu Gallery, and I couldn’t be happier! My artwork will be displayed alongside Wes Hempel’s paintings September 18th through November 7th, 2026 at 1040 Cherokee Street, Denver, Colorado. The opening reception will be on Friday, September 18th from 5:00-8:00 pm. Additionally, I’m giving an artist talk on Saturday, September 19th at noon. 

Bro Desnudo was selected for the Common Ground in the Heart show at the Washington Pavilion, 301 S. Main Ave., Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This exhibition opened on August 28th, 2026, and it will close February 21, 2027.

I paint dudes in man caves as a snarky way to address historic inequities in art. After introducing my painting titled Brodalisque Reclining in the Basement, I elaborate on my use of the man cave as an analogy for the harem as depicted by Orientalists.  

I immortalized a dude enthroned in his garage by painting Man Cave Boy. I elaborate on the importance of man caves after sharing my artwork in this brief video. 

Brodalisque with Cargo pockets is one of my paintings where I satirize historic odalisques. After revealing my artwork, I give a brief overview of the evolution of the odalisque in Western art history. 

Dude on a Panther Skin is part of my series of Brodalisques. After describing this satirical artwork, I explain how I address all the swooning ladies from art history.
