Woman With Blue Boots at the ANW 54th Artist Exhibit

I’m excited to share that my drawing, Woman With Blue Boots, will be part of the ANW 54th Artist Exhibit (Artists of Northern Westchester). The show opens this Sunday, March 30, 2025, from 2–4 PM in Croton-on-Hudson.

After showing a lot of my collage work—often heavier in tone and material—I wanted to submit something different this time. Woman With Blue Boots is a colorful illustration that came to life alongside my Tiny Art Portraits, though at 8.5" x 11", she’s not exactly tiny.

She’s drawn with ink and marker on smooth paper—materials that are less stable over time, though I coated the piece with a UV spray for some protection. The loose, spontaneous feel of this drawing is part of what makes it special.

She’s also for sale: $125 framed, or $100 unframed. If you're in the area, come by the show!

(If you can’t make the show but are interested in purchasing this drawing, please email me for Venmo/Paypal info and I will ship it to you.)

Group Show at Arbor Gallery, "New Growth"

Extremely proud to announce my fresh-off-the-press intaglio print has been accepted to a group show at Arbor Gallery in Carmel, NY.

This piece is part of a brand new body of intaglio etchings that I’ve been experimenting with, focusing on memory, memories, and the grasping to keep hold of one’s story.
