This photograph is also currently on exhibit as part of another juried show at the George A. Spiva Center for the Arts in Joplin, MO.

Artprize 2015 at Cathedral Square was a blast! The opening reception for all of the artists with work on display here was amazing, and the artist talk led by myself along with two other photographers went fantastic.
