The juror selected my painting, Fortuneteller’s Room, to be in the March 2025 Open exhibit

Inspired by Henry Matisse, Joan Miró, and Andrea Bogdan, I switch between minimalist and more complex expressionist styles in my naive narratives. This painting is certainly more of a minimalist. Here, I am using thinly applied color fields and pearlescent paint to enhance the playfulness of the interior, where the fortune-teller is channeling yet another narrative from a different time depicted by a crystal ball that is also a sand glass.
