Random Acts of Sadness

In August 2013, Corey Helford Gallery hosted my solo show "Random Acts of Sadness". As the title suggests, the show compiled a variety of paintings, most of which focused on the forlorn narratives I'm best known for. This being my first major show in Los Angeles in two years, I decided to incorporate a handful of paintings I've shown in some of the art shows I did outside of LA, and I also touched up / revised many of these paintings for the show.
