Kyle Trowbridge

"Ack, Ack, Ack"

8/18 - 10/19/2007

Kyle is exhibiting a series of 11 drawings (acrylic, ink and shellac on paper). His work focuses on children and teens in an attempt to explore the stereotypes of youth and the myths of adolescence.


He is a full time professor at the University of Miami and brings talent, experience and a unique view on life.
