The juror selected my painting, Meridian, to be in the August Open Exhibit 2026

“Meridian” is an exploration of the boundaries we draw within ourselves. It asks where the city ends and the soul begins, using a bold, eclectic palette to define the various “time zones” of the human psyche. The artwork suggests that we are not a single entity, but a collection of intersecting experiences, each flowing along its own unique coordinate.

The juror selected my painting, Magician, to be in the March Open Exhibit 2026

“Magician” evokes a sense of wonder and transformation, perhaps hinting at the unseen forces at play in a magician’s craft. The central, almost mask-like form seems to be in a state of flux, emanating or receiving energies represented by the surrounding abstract elements. The composition features a curious blend of scientific-looking diagrams and fantastical organic growths, creating a tension between logic and intuition. It’s a painting that feels both ancient and futuristic, suggesting a world where anything is possible.

The juror selected my paintings, Afterthought and Rider to be in the Little Winter Exhibit 2025

Afterthought (5 x 7 in.)

Afterthought is an intimate acrylic study that explores themes of distance, memory, and lingering introspection. Rendered on canvas in soft peach, muted teal, and dusty pink, the composition balances small distant figures with a prominent, floating surreal form. Bold outlines and abstract geometries interact to create a dreamlike horizon, capturing a quiet moment where reflection meets residual thought.

Rider (7 x 5 in.)

Rider is a small-format acrylic painting featuring two distinct, stylized figures layered in a tight, graphic composition. A pale yellow face with subtle, cat-like ears sits in the foreground, anchored by a prominent mint-green and red mask-like entity behind it. Radiating orange lines, beaded dots, and stacked geometric symbols along the left edge create a balanced grid, framing a playful exploration of connection, identity, and shared movement.
