A few moments from my solo exhibition “Emergences” at Art Works in Richmond, VA.

This body of work grew from my interest in emotional space, memory, and the shifting relationship between figure and environment, where the foliage, color, and layered forms begin to mirror inner states of mind.

Grateful to everyone who came out to see the show.

Always hard to let go of my favorite students, especially the ones who have been with me for years 😢 But it’s also a beautiful thing to watch them move forward ❤️ Rheechen is heading to @oberlincon , and they are so lucky to have her!! And she is graduating our school with a bang - painting murals over our once-boring white walls. Love, love, love ❤️❤️❤️

A small pause from the art feed. On Sunday I saw one of my favorite Russian singers perform in Washington DC, and it was truly amazing. These past years have been heartbreaking and complicated, but artists and musicians who speak passionately with humanity still matter deeply 🙏 @_diana_arbenina ❤️💔

With these two mixed media paintings on wood panel, I originally planned to create a pair — similar in style, mood, and color palette.
Instead, they went in completely opposite directions. 🙃😀 Can two works that started side by side end up any more different from each other?

Such a wonderful reception last night at the Strathmore Mansion! I’ll share photos of some of my favorite works soon (so much gorgeous pottery!), but for now—just me and my painting 🙂

New work in progress - messy sketch straight onto a large watercolor canvas, exactly what I tell my students NOT to do 🙃 Let’s see if I can make sense of it 😅

I’ve been feeling really inspired in the studio lately, allowing myself to explore a few different directions subject-wise, so that I’ll have a strong body of work to choose from for my upcoming solo show at Art Works in Richmond, Virginia this May. Very exciting! Stay tuned for the date announcement if you are an area!

This cold winter has done one good thing for me — it sent me hiding into the studio to make new work. And I finally painted my dog Mars (and my cat Gosha, who, at 16, has long been part of my visual world 😊).

This painting, “It Was Raining Then, and Cold, but the Heart Knew No Frost”, is inspired by a line from a poem by Anna Akhmatova. In it, “frost” speaks not only of winter’s chill, but of emotional isolation and the quiet forces that test our endurance — even our humanity.

I just delivered it to The Mansion at Strathmore in Bethesda, MD for a juried exhibition on view March 7 – April 22, with an opening reception on Thursday, March 19 7 to 9 PM.

If you’re nearby, please drop by 💛
More new work coming soon…
