2021 Then and Now: 50 Years of Veteran Experiences. Hosted by St. Augustine Art Association.  Demonstrated the potential healing power of creative expression in a display of artist endeavors. Working through the trauma and grief these artists have incurred through their military service.  The exhibit gave a special “shout out” to former POW, Army Major Theodore Gostas (RET).  He is a former POW 5+ year of which 4.5 were spent in solitary confinement in a footprint of approximately 5’x8′. A special installation was created in a gallery room with a museum quality replica of his cell surrounded by appropriate memorabilia, artifact and artworks in honor of his bravery and heroics in a most hostile and cruel environment. See Installation Images.

2018 Invisible Becoming Visible: An Exhibition of Veterans’ Art. This was the first nationally curated veteran art exhibit of its genre, exploring the healing power of art by veterans covering approximately 60 years of American history; spanning part of the Cold War, Vietnam and the Middle East hostilities. The six invited veteran artists represented a diverse group from all the services and their demographics therein, with few exceptions. Their artworks provided a means of purging agony and grief; moving from darkness to light with healing to hope, and finally, to a path of encouragement and enlightenment. View Images
