SUMMARY:Green: AACC Annual National Juried Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Blue Frog from my Indoor Pond collection\, Architectural series\, is selected for the AACC Annual National Juried Exhibit\, Green at the Cade Center for Fine Arts Gallery\, Arnold\, Maryland. Juried by Roberto Ferrari\, renowned curator of Columbia University\, it was selected from 400 submissions\, with only 43 artists chosen. \nDuration: April 28–July 14 \nOpening Reception/Meet the Artist: April 29 \nAbout the selected piece: \nMy Indoor Pond collection\, consisting of small layered watercolor on pigment print pieces (16-18″ wide)\, is a study of boundaries: where solid structures meet liquid depths and airy light. I use these states of matter to bridge the gap between abstract shapes and familiar forms\, letting the concept dictate the movement of color across the canvas. While the series is grounded in a deep\, atmospheric palette of greens\, it is defined by its “interruptions”—shocks of warm light and cool blues. Here\, the solitary blue frog acts as a vibrant anchor\, emerging from the dominant greens to breathe life into the composition. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Landmark: Iconic American Views\, Annmarie Arts Center\, The Smithsonian
DESCRIPTION:Canyon I from my Colorfield series is selected by Elizabeth Wilson\, Head Registrar of The Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibitions Services\, for the Landmark: Iconic American Views exhibit\, at Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center. \nDuration:\nThe exhibition runs through September 20\, 2026\, offering you ample time to experience the exhibit and the beautiful gardens. \nAbout the selected piece:\nCanyon I\, watercolor and pigment print on a 16×16″ water media panel\, is one of the landscape pieces in my Colorfield series\, which focuses on a dialogue between the structured precision of cartography and the fluid\, emotive qualities of colorfield abstraction. They visualize the human impulse to map and categorize the natural world by overlaying boundaries onto atmospheric horizons. Red and warm colors dominate the palette in these series\, with cold hues used as accents. The degree of abstraction varies; some\, including Canyon I\, are inspired by the Midwestern US\, Arizona\, New Mexico\, and the Grand Canyon. \n

SUMMARY:Winging It: Birds in Art\, Annmarie Arts Center\, The Smithsonian
DESCRIPTION:Mentation from my Baroque series is selected by Saul Drake\, Exhibits Project Director\, Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Services (SITES)\, for the Winging It: Birds in Art exhibit at Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (main gallery). \nThis marks my sixth consecutive acceptance at this prestigious venue affiliated with The Smithsonian\, coinciding with the Landmark exhibit at Kay Daugherty gallery (above the main gallery)\, where my other piece\, Canyon I\, is on display. Visit both shows and enjoy the spectacular sculpture garden throughout the summer. \nDuration: \nJune 5 (opening night)–August 23\, 2026 \n\nAbout Mentation\nMedia: Layered hybrid media (pastel\, acrylic\, and pigment print) on watercolor paper mounted on a 24×36-inch cradled wood panel. \nConcept: I am interested in the gap between the known (recognizable) and the unknown (abstract)\, inviting the viewer to delve into their subconscious and “finish” the painting. \nApplying this philosophy to Mentation\, the images of birds are deconstructed to serve as a metaphor for human cognition. By using headless\, abstracted birds\, the work moves away from ornithological study and toward a representation of “flying thoughts.” These avian forms symbolize the erratic and elusive nature of imagination—ideas that take flight before they are fully formed. It captures the kinetic energy of a mind in flight—a personal experience amidst work in progress\, depicting my creative frenzy.
