The first editions of two of my hybrid (digital/analog) paintings, Tracked & Traced (1/3) and Prey (1/3), from my Figurative and Baroque series, were selected for and both sold at the Washington Project for The Arts (WPA) 2025 Collectors’ Night Gala; the annual art auction Thursday, May 1, 6:00–9:30 pm. The auction, hosted online on Artsy from April 18 to May 2, featured over 100 artworks by some of the most exciting contemporary artists from New York to Richmond. Proceeds from the auction directly benefited the participating artists and WPA, as all sales were split 50/50.
For the first time, free public viewing hours were held two weeks before Collectors’ Night, which coincided with the 50th anniversary of WPA.
