404 Artwork Not Found explores the process of making from an emotional standpoint, highlighting the highs, lows, and challenges of bringing a new project to fruition. This story is told through the use of a multitude of different mediums from painting, to digital art, to installation.

Viewers are invited to actively engage in the work; sharing their own personal stories and venturing beyond the role of a passive onlooker. This show takes a “glass half full” approach to taming artist’s block; creating a fun and interactive environment for vulnerability and inspiration.
