I was happy to be one of 50 local artists included in this year’s Secret Artworks auction. Online this year, it raised money for Artworks, the organization that paints beautiful murals throughout the Cincinnati area. My wall sculpture, titled, “Hello Mello Yello 99 + 17” features 116 empty Juicy Fruit Packs (I chew a lot of gum) fixed on a 36-inch square canvas. In case you’re wondering, the numbers in the title stand for 9 x 11 = 99 packs stuck on the canvas plus 17 more doubled up for more dimensionality.
