Exhibits

A woman with short brown hair, glasses, wearing a black sleeveless top and patterned black-and-white pants, stands in an art gallery. She is smiling and looking at the camera while pointing at a framed colorful abstract painting on the wall behind her.

My art was my secret for a long time before I began to show it to my friends and family. The next step in my evolution began tentatively in 2023.

I love showing my work and talking with people about it and my experiences. Join me, see my art at these exhibits, or contact me to arrange a private viewing.

Brightly colored, abstract floral painting with various shades of purple, green, yellow, pink, and blue, featuring swirling patterns and intricate details.

Contact

I love to talk. I especially love to talk about art.

Contact me to arrange a visit, inquire about purchasing a piece (or many), tell me something you like or dislike about my work, or collaborations.

I would love to connect with other artists who are interested in creating together either virtually or in the Washington, DC metro area.
