TJ MEADE
Ghostwolf presents works by artist TJ Meade! TJ is a native New Mexican that has several murals around the metro area. He describes his painting process as chaotic, layering and scraping until the piece takes on a life of its own. With a focus on process over concept, TJ’s pieces invite the viewer to ponder the technique and imagery. His satisfaction comes from knowing that his pieces speak his own unique visual language. Meet the artist from 5-8pm, Friday, August 2nd! Light refreshments will be served.
