Craning the Net from my Figurative series has been selected for the Chronicles: Storytelling Through Imagery exhibit at Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center by the juror Elizabeth Dale-Deines, Public Programs Manager at the National Air and Space Museum. This marks my third consecutive acceptance at this prestigious venue affiliated with The Smithsonian.
The exhibition will run from October 10 through January 18, 2026, offering you ample time to experience the art and the beautiful gardens.
About Craning the Net:
A mixed media—spray paint, watercolor, acrylic, charcoal and collage on a 20×60” canvas in which I combined an abstract female form and the net (left and below), resulting from spray-painting over a fishing net and a more representational male figure and construction tools on the right (charcoal and collage). It depicts the constant human struggle to make ends meet. Meanwhile, a grander landscape appears with an optimistic energy on the horizon, symbolizing hope.
