SUMMARY:Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art\, Made in VA Biennial 2026
DESCRIPTION:Prey from my Baroque series has been selected for the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art’s Made in VA Biennial 2026 exhibit and is currently featured on the museum’s website. This is a true honor for me\, especially since I received the following remarks from the museum’s senior curator\, Heather Hakimzade\, in her announcement email: \n“This year\, Made in VA received an unprecedented number of applications and reached our submission capacity for the first time in the exhibition’s history. The jury process was incredibly competitive\, and your work stood out among an exceptionally strong group of submissions from artists across the Commonwealth. \nOpening reception: September 10\, 6:00–9:00 pm \nExhibit duration: September 11\, 2026–March 21\, 2027 \n\nAbout the selected piece:\nPrey (mixed media on 30×24-inch wood panel) reflects on victims of immigration and individuals confined to predefined gender identities\, trapped in the web of established institutions. The overly decorated trap is guarded by a green\, half-spider\, half-insect creature that both depicts the intricate\, often deceptive allure of oppressive systems and symbolizes the pervasive nature of societal judgment.

SUMMARY:The Art League Open Exhibit October 2026
DESCRIPTION:Where: The Art League Gallery\, Alexandria\, VA \nExhibition Duration: October 7 – November 8\, 2026 \nFeatured Work: Moonrack (mixed media—watercolor\, ink\, acrylic\, pastel\, and pigment print on 24×24″ water media wood panel) from the Architectural series \nI am excited to announce that Moonrack from my Architectural series has been selected for The Art League’s October 2026 Open Exhibit by the independent juror\, Paul Sattler. \n\nAbout the Artwork\nOne 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 have taken numerous photographic studies of surfaces near water at different times of day\, digitally altered and combined them with my analog sketches\, and 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. \n\nVisit the gallery and my studio\nPlanning to visit Thursday through Sunday afternoon? Drop by my workspace—Studio #5—located just a few steps away inside the Torpedo Factory Art Center. You can view additional original paintings\, explore behind-the-scenes techniques from my Architectural and Perspective series\, or chat about custom artwork commissions. \nLocation & Parking \n\nAddress: The Art League Gallery (Torpedo Factory Art Center)\, Alexandria\, VA (see directions and map below)\nParking: Ample street parking is available nearby\, plus two convenient parking garages directly across the street.

SUMMARY:The Art League Open Exhibit November 2026
DESCRIPTION:Where: The Art League Gallery\, Alexandria\, VA \nOpening Reception: November 13\, 6:30 – 8 pm \nExhibition Duration: November 5 – December 7\, 2026 \nFeatured Work: Cathedral Tree (acrylic and spray paint over a digital sketch printed on canvas\, 30×40″) \nI am excited to announce that Cathedral Tree has been selected for The Art League’s November 2026 Open Exhibit by independent juror Heather McMordie. \nJoin us at the opening reception on Friday\, November 13\, to enjoy several exhibits by local DMV artists — including The Social Vibe\, Steve Mabley’s solo exhibition\, Little Winter\, and the adjacent Gallery 75. I have several pieces in the last two\, great holiday gift options. \nAbout the Artwork:\nCathedral Tree is from my Architectural series inspired by nature’s invasion of abandoned buildings. After humans have occupied the entire planet\, it’s nice to find places where plants defy human habitats. I also love the organic forms creeping into geometrical industrial objects through corrosion or growth. They also provide new ground for playing with colors. I digitally sketched this architectural composition\, printed it on canvas\, and painted over it with acrylic and spray paint. \nVisit the gallery and my studio\nPlanning to visit Thursday through Sunday afternoon? Drop by my workspace — Studio #5 — located just a few steps away inside the Torpedo Factory Art Center. View additional original paintings\, explore behind-the-scenes techniques from my Architectural and Perspective series\, or chat about custom artwork commissions. \nLocation & Parking\nAddress: The Art League Gallery (Torpedo Factory Art Center)\, Alexandria\, VA \nParking: Ample street parking is available nearby\, plus two convenient parking garages directly across the street.

SUMMARY:The Art League November 2026 Little Winter Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Where: The Art League Gallery\, Alexandria\, VA \nOpening Reception: November 13\, 6:30 – 8 pm \nExhibition Duration: November 5 – December 7\, 2026 \nFeatured Works: Arcadia and Eclipsed Temple (watercolor\, pastel\, and acrylic layered over pigment print on cotton rag\, mounted on wood) from the Coastal Skyline collection \nLittle Winter is one of The Art League’s most fun annual exhibits. It offers visitors affordable small art that makes wonderful gifts\, and I am thrilled that independent juror Tiara Safic-Martin selected two of my small mixed-media paintings—Eclipsed Temple and Arcadia—for this show. \nJoin us for the opening reception on Friday\, November 13\, to enjoy several exhibits by local DMV artists—including The Social Vibe\, Steve Mabley’s solo exhibition\, the Open Exhibit\, and the adjacent Gallery 75. I have several pieces in Little Winter and Gallery 75 that make great holiday gifts—and Gallery 75 also has other gift options. \nAbout the Artworks\nBoth pieces are from the Coastal Skyline collection\, a sub-category of my Colorfield series. I wish the manmade and the natural would meet on equal terms\, and this collection gives that wish form—town geometry\, sun\, and sea sharing one horizon. In Eclipsed Temple\, an eclipsed sun hangs over a lone tree and the bright geometry of a coastal town\, with the sea beyond. In Arcadia\, a rainbow arcs over a pale sun above the shoreline. Each piece is built the Coastal Skyline way: watercolor\, pastel\, and acrylic layered by hand over my pigment print on cotton rag\, mounted on wood—so every one is an original\, not a reproduction. \nVisit the gallery and my studio\nPlanning to visit Thursday through Sunday afternoon? Drop by my workspace—Studio #5—located just a few steps away inside the Torpedo Factory Art Center. View additional original paintings\, explore behind-the-scenes techniques from my Architectural and Perspective series\, or chat about custom artwork commissions. \nLocation & Parking\nAddress: The Art League Gallery (Torpedo Factory Art Center)\, Alexandria\, VA \nParking: Ample street parking is available nearby\, plus two convenient parking garages directly across the street.

SUMMARY:The Kaleidoscope Effect Art Auction and Gala 2026 by Transformer DC
DESCRIPTION:This year\, I’m participating in Transformer’s 22nd Annual Benefit Art Auction & Gala\, The Kaleidoscope Effect\, through their FlatFile program\, with five new works from my Spirits series.  \nOne of the largest fundraisers for local arts and artists in Washington\, DC\, the Benefit Gala is on Saturday\, November 21\, 2026\, when you can find my FlatFiles. \nThe gala fills The LINE DC with more than 150 artworks up for silent bidding\, an artist-activated Experiences Lounge\, and a performance by Pussy Noir. \nYou will find my five Spirits pieces in the FlatFile Lounge on the mezzanine level\, where you can purchase them directly during the gala. If you attend\, please stop by the lounge and take a moment to view them. \nI am truly grateful to Transformer DC for supporting local artists and for connecting us with art lovers\, year after year. \nAbout the works\nIn the Spirits series\, veiled figures cross radiant\, dreamlike landscapes of desert\, water\, and rose-colored skies—presences half seen\, caught between worlds. The five new pieces are Apparition\, Awakening\, Canyon Bride\, Dusk\, and Silent Domain—each on satin archival paper\, 14 × 11 in.\, matted to 20 × 16 in. \nYou can also see my FlatFile collection online—it includes more than these five\, along with several earlier works. \nSee the event link below for ticket information and an earlier VIP opportunity.
