Sleeth Gallery
The Sleeth Gallery is located on the first floor of McCuskey Hall at West Virginia Wesleyan College, at the intersection of East Main Street and College Avenue in Buckhannon, WV.
Admission is free.

Mueller — an intermedia artist — focuses on humans' resistance to change and a struggle for control. How these efforts display themselves is the subject of the works collected in this exhibition, which includes large-scale paintings and video works. Recurrent visual themes include corporate management structures, cult dynamics, and Sisyphean tasks. Although these works share many specific, personal associations and a dry sense of humor, the audience is invited to develop personal narratives and explanations for each piece.

Recent Drawing for Erik

A friend of mine, Erik, sent me some photos to make a piece.  I finally made it over spring break (after about a year or so delay...).

I think I'll call it Traveling Dog.  Approximately 8"x10" in paint marker, pastel, and charcoal on canvas.

How to Get There 

I'll have a drawing in this show, and I'll be at the opening after I finish up at the "1st Annual Black & White Sustainability Mixer & Recognition Ceremony "...

See you there!

New Panel Series on Fanaticism, Sustainability, & America

Here are some pics of my most recent series of paint and charcoal on wood panel.  The works are inspired by my recent research into the relationship between fanaticism, sustainability and America.  These are the first four in the series of eight.

Upcoming Panel Drawings

I've set to work on a new set of panel drawings, and I'm very excited about them.  I've been at grad school for a year, and have not done a single drawing since I arrived (aside from some illustrations in my various booklets), so I'm feeling like it's about time!  

They look very blank and intimidating right now, but I have some ideas flowing, and I know they are going to relate in some way to the grant subject matter (Fanaticism, Sustainability, & America).  The panels are all primed and ready to go, so I just have to get to work developing the compositions to go on them.  8 new works!  Woot!

North of the 45th at NMU

I will be showing five pieces from the Their Turn Series as a part of the "North of the 45th" exhibition at The DeVos Art Museum at Northern Michigan University. This exhibition was juried by John Corbett of Corbett vs. Dempsey Gallery, Chicago.
