If you’re in the Sioux City Area, I would love it if you stopped by the Sioux City Art Center to see my new painting! It’s a “totally historically accurate” depiction of the ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus, and I think you’ll enjoy seeing it in person! My painting is part of the Local Perspectives exhibition, and you can see it at 225 Nebraska Street, Sioux City, Iowa now until February 8th, 2026.

When you check out my painting at the Sioux City Art Center in Iowa, impress your friends by telling them about the symbolism in this painting when you point out Aeschylus, the turtle, and the eagle!

If you’re familiar with paintings that allegedly depict the death of Cleopatra, then you’ll probably get a kick out of my painting titled the Death of Aeschylus. I describe my oil on canvas composition of luxuriating dudes while sharing the historic inspiration.

Just in case this painting winds up in your art collection one day, here’s a little documentation to help you establish the provenance. Tee-hee!

This is one of the most complex paintings I’ve ever created!
