Blue Bird III, Red Dress, and She Is a Creative Accepted into Exhibition

Image
I’m honored and grateful to share that three of my works—Blue Bird III, Red Dress, and She Is A Creative—have been accepted into the 2026 Reflection Art Show at the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts in Gloversville, New York. My work continues to explore the real, the imagined, and freedom. Each of these pieces tells a different story, inviting us to look beyond what we see and consider the emotions, possibilities, and meanings that lie beneath the surface. I’m especially grateful to have three works included in an exhibition centered around reflection—a theme that connects so naturally with my own artistic journey. My sincere thanks to the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts and everyone involved in bringing this exhibition together. It is always meaningful to have opportunities to share my work and the ideas that have shaped it. The exhibition will be on view October 30, 2026, through January 7, 2027, with an opening reception on Thursday, November 5, from 4–7 PM.

When Art Moves Again

  Featured image: Rainbow Bird “The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist's way of scribbling "Kilroy was here" on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.” – William Faulkner

Dance!

 Featured image: Spring Dance “I've always believed that a dance evening energizes an audience, that an audience goes out feeling chemically stronger and more optimistic. This is what I understand about dance. And this is an important thing. We need this. Our culture needs it.” – Twyla Tharp

  Featured image: Traveling II “I believe that the justification of art is the internal combustion it ignites in the hearts of men and not its shallow, externalized, public manifestations. The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenalin but is, rather, the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity.” – Glenn Gould
