May All-Media Show

The May All-Media show at the Alexandria Art League Gallery was juried by Mira Hecht, a DC-based artist who also teaches at the Corcoran.  My piece Cabbage and Dragon Fruit was accepted.  

2014 Patron's Show

The 2014 Patron's Show was a huge success again this year with 683 donated pieces of artwork.  This year I donated a piece called "Top of Walnut" which is a painting of some houses in my neighborhood.  

Abstract Expressionism Revisited

This year is the Art League's 60th anniversary and they are celebrating by having a series of shows that revisit art movements of the past six decades.  This should be fun because I have been transitioning back to doing abstract paintings.  For the Abstract Expressionism show in January my painting called "The Dressing Ceremony" was accepted.  

American Women Artists Online Show

I'm excited that my painting Butternut Squash was accepted into the American Women Artists 2013 Associate Member Online Juried Competition.  It is included in a slideshow on the American Women Artists Gallery page.

Flora and Fauna

The April Show at the Alexandria Art League this month is titled Flora and Fauna.  My painting Squash and Pears was accepted and received an Honorable Mention.  In the juror's dialogue, the juror, Yuriko Yamaguchi, said that the works that were selected for an honorable mention conveyed "strong impressions of the strength, fragility and drama of life" which sounds good to me.

2013 Patron's Show

Last month I donated Belle Haven Park to the Alexandria Art League's Patron Show.  It is an exciting fundraiser for the Art League.

Small and Large Works

The November Art League Show was two shows in one.   The Small Works Show was juried by Lindsay Harris and my painting Quail Eggs and Yams was accepted and received an Honorable Mention.  In her juror's dialogue, Lindsay Harris said that many of the accepted pieces were "examples of simple, humble objects rendered precious through art".
