Featured Work

*Providence tropical*. Caran d’Ache black and green color pencil, print transfer, on Canson paper. 40 inch. x 28 inch. 2019

“Providence tropical” offers a dystopian view of climate change in a not so distant future.

Visitors to the new [RI State House] basement gallery will see a mix of sculptures, installations and paintings from 20 area artists. They imagine a hanging metal egg sac, a jungle growing from an urban rail yard, sea mussels clinging to rungs on a ladder, flowers blooming in jars of formaldehyde and street grids mapped on tree rings.

Podcast about “Reseeding the City” by James Baumgartner on The Public’s Radio.

We want people to be able to come into the people’s house and see something that reflects the experience of a lot of creative people, most of whom are living in an urban setting and thinking of what we do or don’t do to our environment.
Judith Tolnick Champa, curator of “Reseeding the city”.

LatinXpression: The Absorbing Nature of Line

Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, Brown University, 111 Thayer Street, Providence, RI. February 4 – April 26, 2019.

LatinXpression features nine Latinx artists who live and work in Rhode Island, Los Angeles, and New York. The drawn or painted line, whose nature is as absorbing for the artist-maker as for the viewer, articulates both abstract and representational subject matter. It resonates with natural history, visual-culture traditions, hip hop culture, and idiosyncratic personal memory.
