NYC SOLO SHOW 2022 | RETURN TO SOURCE
Don's 2022 solo show, a survey of paintings and assemblage work, ran from June 14th through July 9th at Pleiades Gallery in New York's Chelsea District. Return to Source was curated by Marianna Winterdale - a New York-based curator, DTP designer, and photographer. For Don's show, Mari chose a mix of recent paintings, assemblage work, and earlier pieces to tell a story of the artist's philosophy and development.
Don has an extensive YouTube March 2021 studio interview on the ups and downs of a life as a self-taught artist, conducted by Liana Voia, the creator of Multiple Arts.
