I'm Getting There

I'm feeling a lot better about the direction this painting is going. The elements seem to flow better. I like the translucency of the bottom portion and what's happening with the dark elements in the middle. 

Mo Better Painting

As I studied my painting in progress, I decided to soften the top section and add more textured elements. At the bottom I wanted to make the painting look fluid and give the feeling of being immersed in water.

When and Where We Enter

I've always wanted to paint big. When I was invited to show some of my paintings at a large gallery space in D.C.'s Chinatown in February, it gave me just the push to bring my desire to life. I decided to buy some doors and paint on that. I liked the idea of wood and what doors signify. I think doors are metaphors for so many things, such as impediments in life or on the other hand, openings for new opportunities to enter.

Art Opening La Fabrica Aurora in Mexico

San Miguel Creates

While studying in San Miguel de Allende this summer in the Corcoran's Study Away program, I created some new cut-paper collages and exhibited them at La Fabrica de Aurora. The Corcoran has a cool exhibit and workshop space there.

 

Wish You Were Here 12

I had one postcard in Wish You Were Here 12: June 27 - July 21, 2013 - Brooklyn's annual A.I.R Gallery exhibit. Last year's exhibit featured work by over 400 artists from as far away as Australia and Guyana. Proceeds from this exhibition help fund programs, including the Fellowship Program for under-represented and emerging women artists.
