Auction Night: October 15 (Online Auction: October 15 – October 22, 2026)

Featured Works:

I am honored to announce that three of my paintings—Inner Garden and Lily Den from the Perspective series and Uplift II from the Architectural series—have been selected for the Hickok Cole Art Night 2026 Annual Auction. This prestigious event supports the Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) and local artists.

My participation came by invitation, followed by an extensive jury selection process. I am thrilled that three of my works were chosen for this significant fundraiser. We already raised a record $195,330 on the night of the auction, marking this the biggest fundraiser in 26 years. We are hoping to raise even more by the end of the online auction (October 22).

How to participate:

Hickok Cole Art Night is a private event; however, anyone can view and purchase artwork online! Bidding is now open (see link above).

About the selected works:

All three featured pieces—Inner Garden, Lily Den, and Uplift II—explore the theme of nature reclaiming abandoned spaces. They contrast structured architectural elements with dynamic, organic forms, symbolizing the natural world returning to its original state when human presence recedes. Though rendered with surreal undertones, these works aim to evoke deep environmental awareness and encourage reflection on our relationship with the natural world.
