I was selected by the ADA Gallery, Washington Center of ADA University, for the gallery’s Summer 2024 Exhibit, July through  September. Working closely with the gallery’s curator, Louette Ragusa, I assembled an intriguing collection for this exhibit from my Perspective and Architectural series. A few common elements allowed me to combine these paintings in a solo show, which addressed certain contradictions in unison—hence, the title, “Parallax Paradigms.” This exhibit’s 30+ small to large paintings joined spontaneous abstract marks with more recognizable elements, such as human figures, flora and fauna, while simulating depth using perspective grids and architectural structures. The “parallax” was defined by both the process of layering paint (literally) and the viewers’ perception of color and depth based on the individual/personal interpretation.

Throughout the three-month show, we had many great receptions on the first Fridays and third Thursdays during the Dupont Circle Art Walks. In addition, we had just under 600 visitors during the DC Art All Night event on September 28. I consider this solo show one of my best exposures as an artist, with several sales, and I am truly grateful to ADA Gallery for this opportunity.
