Join us for an artist lecture by Rudy Shepherd, whose work delves into the nature of evil through painting, drawing, and sculpture. His artistic exploration investigates the lives of both criminals and victims, presenting their stories without distinction to examine the complexities of innocence, guilt, and morality.

Shepherd’s work also includes a series of sculptures titled Black Rock Negative Energy Absorbers, designed to remove negative energy and promote positivity. Expanding on this theme, he has developed Healing Devices, ceramic sculptures that offer a visual response to negative forces, and Holy Mountains, paintings depicting sacred spaces from various cultures and religions around the world.
