Moonrack from my Architectural series was selected for The Art League’s October 2026 Open Exhibit by the independent juror, Paul Sattler.

About the Artwork

One of the Blue collection within my Architectural series, Moonrack is an imaginary scenery combining a structurally impossible construction over water, a full moon, thunderbolts, and pristine versus corroded surfaces—serving as color fields and ultimately achieving a chromatic experience. I took numerous photographic studies of surfaces near water at different times of day, digitally altered and combined them with my analog sketches, then pigment-printed them on watercolor-type archival paper. I then worked on the print with watercolor, ink, and pastel, making it unique and not part of an edition. This painting comes with a slim silver metal floater frame.

Three of my paintings—Inner Garden and Lily Den from the Perspective series and Uplift II from the Architectural series—were selected for the Hickok Cole Art Night 2026 Annual Auction. This prestigious event supports the Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) and local artists.

I participated by direct invitation, followed by an extensive jury selection process. I was thrilled that three of my works were chosen for this significant fundraiser. We raised a record $204,835 at this auction, the biggest fundraiser in 26 years.

Where: The Art League Gallery, Alexandria, VA

Exhibition Duration: September 9 – October 4, 2026

Featured Work: Fallings (mixed media—spray paint, acrylic, pastel, and collaged stained tissue paper on 48×36″ canvas) from the Figurative Series

Fallings was selected for The Art League’s miniMAX Exhibit (MAX category) and received an Honorable Mention from the independent juror, Samantha Esmé Williams. As one of the gallery’s most anticipated annual shows, miniMAX highlights the dramatic contrast between extreme scale and intricate detail, bringing together exceptional works from local miniature artists and large-scale creators.

About the Artwork

At play in Fallings are themes of rescue, adrenaline, and vivid dreams of floating, flying, or plummeting from the sky into the water. Set against a soft, misty pastel background, male figures rendered in striking warm tones and deep cool hues drift across the canvas. A structured perspective grid collides with and balances these fluid, organic forms—drawing inspiration from the revolutionary spatial geometry of Renaissance masters to explore contemporary abstract and surreal narratives.
