Excited to announce that two pieces from Wallflower have been acquired into the permanent collection at McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, TX and five pieces from Parting Words have been acquired into the permanent collection at Museum of Fine Art Houston! These bodies of work are very different from one another, but both take a deep look at masculine communities in the United States. Both bodies of work feel more important than ever in our current political climate, which continues to strip more and more away from already marginalized and/or vulnerable communities.
Thrilled to share that two pieces from A Place Where We Are in The Sun have just been acquired by Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University. Truly appreciative and in awe that my family archive has become part of a museum archive.

About this institution:
The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art believes everyone deserves access to art that challenges our understanding of the present and inspires us to create a future that holds space for us all.
Located on the campus of one of the most racially diverse universities in the United States, Marjorie Barrick Museum strives to create a nourishing environment for those who continue to be neglected by contemporary art museums, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ groups. As the only art museum in the city of Las Vegas, they commit themselves to leveling barriers that limit access to the arts, especially for first-time visitors. Their collection of artworks offers an opportunity for researchers and scholars to develop a more extensive knowledge of contemporary art in Southern Nevada. The Barrick Museum is part of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV).
