For the last two years as the artist for this painting project, I've been working on molding an idea that is simple in concept, but with a twist.
I've been trying to see if I can put together a world travel puzzle using paint and a brush and not leave the studio.
With the help of today's technology, friends, and Travelers from around the world sharing their photos and stories with me, it all came together in the first showing of the project at the UIC Gallery in Chicago.
Here is what the first showing of The Artist and the Traveler looked like.
Next to each painting is is a little blurb about how I met the Traveler along with their picture and the photo that inspired the painting.

This show was up at the UIC Gallery in Chicago from February-March and was a good start for this project.
I want to thank all the Travelers and friends for being a part of this project and show, and to all the folks who went through and saw the show and wrote such nice comments about it. Thanks, they were greatly appreciated.
Now back to painting and finding new Travelers. Next up India
