RBds Gallery – solo exhibition

Back in July of 2013 I was invited to have a solo exhibition at the newly formed RBds (Richard Butz design studio) gallery in the OTR of Cincinnati, OH.  I had an initial studio visit with Richard and got to know more about his vision for the gallery, his personal painting practice and his past architecture career.  The exhibition was well attended and we received favorable reviews for the show.  Richard successfully ran the gallery for 2 years until he was unfortunately forced to close the space.
