Hi Julian, I saw your work at the Detroit Artists Market. I am the galleries director at the Crooked Tree Arts Center in Petoskey and Traverse City. We are hosting an exhibition called “Palate to Palette: Art and Appetite” in Traverse City in January of 2018. Would you be interested in participating? I saw your illustrations of beverages… and those would work well… but perhaps you have other related work that would also fit into the theme of the exhibition. The exhibition coincides with restaurant week and we will also have a corresponding program of events. Please let me know if you would like to discuss this opportunity. You can reach me at 231.881.0593 or sheila@crookedtree.org.
Hello Julian, All your work seems amazing and elaborate. It’s very amazing how you can paint these different styles of paintings. Good work!
