“Ripped” will be exhibited at the Virginia MOCA, July 11, 2024 through January 5, 2025! It’s a huge honor to be selected for this highly competitive show! The book used in this artwork is A Rip in Heaven, the true story of a terrible crime in St. Louis in the 80s. With parents from St. Louis and a lot of relatives still living there, the book hit close to home for me.
