I'm excited to share that my artwork has been accepted into Lean Into Abstraction, an exhibition celebrating the expressive possibilities of abstract art through color, form, texture, and gesture.
Abstract art has always appealed to me because it allows for exploration beyond literal representation. Through abstraction, I can communicate emotion and ideas in ways that are open to interpretation, inviting viewers to bring their own experiences and meaning to the work.
I am especially honored that the exhibition is juried by acclaimed multi-disciplinary artist Jef Gunn, whose work has been shaped by the Pacific Northwest and international study.
​
The opening reception will be held on Thursday, July 2, 2026, from 5:30–7:30 p.m at 2185 SW Park Place Portland, Oregon 97205. I look forward to sharing my work alongside so many talented artists and hope to see you there!

I'm excited to share that two of my sculptures have been accepted into Color Play, a juried exhibition presented by the Gresham Area League for the Arts (GALA).

The exhibition theme, Color Play, invited artists working across all media—including painting, drawing, mixed media, photography, digital art, sculpture, jewelry, pottery, glass, and other three-dimensional works—to explore the impact and effect of color in our lives and imaginations. Artists were encouraged to share their unique perspectives on color through inventive and creative interpretations. As someone whose work incorporates mosaic, stained glass, mirrored surfaces, and illuminated elements, the theme was a natural fit. Color is not simply a visual component in my sculptures—it is a material, a source of reflection, and a way of creating movement, energy, and emotion within each piece.

The public is invited to attend the opening reception on Thursday, June 11, 2026, from 5:30–7:30 PM in the Council Chambers Lobby at 1333 NW Eastman Parkway in Gresham, Oregon. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the artists, ask questions about the work, and celebrate creativity with the local arts community.

The exhibition will remain on view throughout the summer, with gallery hours Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and select Saturday openings.

I am grateful to GALA for the opportunity to participate in Color Play and look forward to sharing this work with new audiences. If you're in the Gresham area, I hope you'll stop by and experience the exhibition in person.
