CURRENT AND UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
Tröegs Brewing Company Art Gallery
Tröegs Gallery
Hershey, Pennsylvania
August 2019– August 2019
My piece, Püppchen Nator was selected to be a part of this year’s Art of Tröegs and will be on display in the Splinter Cellar gallery for the year.
I have a thing for Nator. He’s always been there. An icon. He’s such a charmer, and golly, he is strong. While strength may be one of his defining characteristics there’s more depth to his character.
Nator is a big softie and he’s the subject of my submission for this year’s Art of Tröegs. I present to you: Püppchen Nator. He demands attention with his fluffy white head and bready malt aroma. He truly is both sweet and strong. To convey additional layers of meaning, Nator is engulfed in a field full of the German Northern Brewer, and Magnum hops that make up his brew. There’s a symbiosis going on between Nator in the foreground, and the plants trying to announce themselves underneath him, around him, and through him. Who gets to be the star of the show? The story or the legend who inhabits that story?

Collaboration with Bob Ressel of Lancaster, PA
The winning entry was created by Jim Howard and Bob Ressel of nearby York, PA. Jim teaches art and graphic design, and Bob teaches woodshop and engineering. They’ve collaborated on hundreds of projects over the years, but according to the longtime friends, this one was the most personal. Here’s what they had to say:
“We love Tröegs beer and make regular pilgrimages to the brewery,” said Jim and Bob. “Inspired by the spirit of Tröegs and its community, we created this piece. The Splinter Cellar represents the essence of experimentation and collaboration. What better way to use our talents than to craft a work that exemplifies this concept?”
Jim and Bob re-created the exterior of the brewery using 6-pack cardboard from a variety of Tröegs favorites, including Mad Elf, Nugget Nectar and Hop Knife. Through the cutout panel of windows and set back a couple of inches are 14-inch renditions of our 21-foot tall wood-aging foeders that the artists crafted out of corrugated caseboxes and strips of aluminum cans.
“We are so thankful that our local beer is also our favorite,” Jim and Bob said. “Our Splinter Cellar was crafted carefully and thoughtfully, leading to a deliciously tasty piece.”

Pool Art Center Gallery
Drury University
Springfield, MO
This national juried exhibition asks artists to reflect upon and present their views of our nation to gallery patrons. My piece, also entitled 'State of the Union' explores the United States in it's current political standoff. I challenged myself to create an image that truly reflects on my feelings...stranded and sad in the middle of unproductive and unnecessary debate.
