SUMMARY:The Art League May 2026 Open Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Dawn from my Spirits series is selected by Jowita Wyszomiska\, the independent juror of the month\, for the May 2026 Open Exhibit at The Art League Gallery\, Alexandria\, VA. \nExhibit Duration: May 6–June 7\, 2026 \nAbout the selected piece:\nDawn\, a layered watercolor and pigment print on a 24×24-inch wood watermedia panel\, is the fifth painting from my Spirits series selected for a monthly exhibit at The Art League. Two previous pieces from this series received Best in Show and Honorable Mention awards and were sold by The Art League. \nThe “Spirits” series fuses figurative and landscape painting through a musical approach—a unique technique employing dense\, filament-like lines (melody) and parallel striations (harmony)\, reminiscent of intaglio or etching. I hope to emphasize environmental awareness with this approach. The veiled figures\, rendered in neutral tones\, contrast with the warm landscape\, symbolizing the ethereal emergence of nature’s guardians and underscoring humanity’s inherent connection to and responsibility for the Earth. \nAs a colorist artist trained by the founders and followers of the Washington Color School\, my practice has evolved from abstract color field painting. I now employ a surreal approach\, introducing elements of reality to explore the gap between the known (recognizable forms) and the unknown (abstract expression). This investigation centers on my “Spirits” series\, in which innovative digital and mixed-media techniques fuse the human figure and landscape\, emphasizing environmental connection. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Art League June 2026 Landscape Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Castle Fields III from my Colorfield series is selected by Jill Basham\, the independent juror of the month\, for the June 2026 Landscape Exhibit\, one of the most popular annual shows at The Art League Gallery\, Alexandria\, VA. \nJoin us for the opening reception on Friday\, June 12\, 6:30–8:00 pm and come earlier to check out my studio (5)\, a few steps from The Art League Gallery at the Torpedo Factory Art Center. \nExhibit Duration: June 10–July 5\, 2026 \n\nAbout Castle Fields III\nMedia: Layered hybrid media (watercolor\, acrylic ink and pigment print) on watercolor paper mounted on a 24×24-inch cradled wood panel (third variation). \nConcept: Having spent most of my life in the DC area with access to significant works by the founders of the Washington Color School\, I’ve closely studied their techniques\, yet deviated from traditional colorist styles in the Landscape collection within my Colorfield series. These works present a dialogue between the structured precision of cartography and the fluid\, emotive qualities of colorfield abstraction. By overlaying rigid\, grid-like structures and “fenced” boundaries onto ethereal\, atmospheric horizons\, I attempt to visualize the human impulse to map the natural world. The vibrant\, saturated palettes create a sense of topographical depth\, yet the bleeding edges and layered transparencies suggest a landscape that is constantly shifting. This tension illustrates the gap between the known and the unknown\, where the comfort of a recognizable landmark dissolves into the vast\, unknowable mystery of pure color and light. \n
