THE GUN SHOW
Mass shootings. Thoughts and prayers. Hunting for sport. Lawmakers and the NRA. Social media. Hollywood. Apathy and action. Welcome to the new abnormal. Welcome to The Gun Show.
#TheGunShow is a culmination of a lifetime of experiences and conflicted emotions surrounding America’s relationship with firearms. Through painting, sculpture, and mixed media, the series channels outrage, confusion, and empathy into visual form—transforming cultural noise into reflective confrontation. While the work offers more questions than answers, its message is clear: the time is now.
Launched at Lewis Carnegie Gallery in Austin and later expanded at Presa House Gallery in San Antonio, The Gun Show continues as an evolving series and traveling exhibition. Each iteration introduces new works that provoke dialogue, demanding that the complicated issues around gun violence and gun rights remain at the forefront of the cultural conversation.
