Life as a Legend: Marilyn Monroe opens at 5:00 pm, Friday, May 2 at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center.
"Life as a Legend: Marilyn Monroe, on exhibit at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center from May 3 – July 6, captures the beauty, sensuality and vulnerability of an American icon, who many have described as the sexiest woman of the 20th Century.
Experience the spark, sex appeal and sensation of Marilyn Monroe through the art of Andy Warhol, Christo, Douglas Kirkland, Robert Indiana, Mel Ramos, Richard Avedon, Bert Stern, Henri Cartier-Bresson and many others. This vivid and diverse exhibition of 286 objects captures Marilyn’s rise to stardom, her private life and public image, through works by more than 80 artists ranging from fashion photographers to Pop painters to international contemporary artists."
A special addition to this exhibition is a showing of new works of art by local and regional artists based on the icon, including, I'm happy to say, me.
More information about the show and the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center can be found here. Be sure to stop and say hello to me at the opening.

14 of my works are included in Jedi Suggestions, a show opening tonight at Phantom Canyon in downtown Colorado Springs. Curated by the inestimable Jason Zacharias of OpticalReverb, it includes paintings by Jennifer Newman, Warren Arcila, Kevin Williams, Joey Gudenas and and sculpture by Michael Garman. The show runs through October 4, and if you get a chance to stop in, I'd love to hear what you think.
