^{In March, I opened my solo show at The Yocum Gallery—Return to Magic—a celebration of coming back to painting in a big way. The exhibition brought together 72 works created primarily between 2023–2025. My biggest takeaway: 2024 was the year I fully returned to the studio—to explore, to experiment, and to see where the work wanted to go. That decision changed everything about my practice this year.}

^{Next Up: My 2026 Solo at The GoggleWorks}

^{I’m thrilled to share that I’ll open a new solo show at The GoggleWorks in February 2026, running through March 2026. This will be the first time I bring together some of my largest paintings—spanning 2008 to today—in one space. Think scale, gesture, and color you can feel from across the room. I can’t wait to invite you in.}

^{Save the date – February 6th for the opening Reception: February–March 2026 (GoggleWorks, Reading, PA)}

^{Displaying Art: Shelves, Pedestals, and the Organic Mix}

^{Not every piece needs a white wall. I love mixing framed works on shelves, small pieces on pedestals, and leaned layers with books and objects—it creates a lived-in conversation.}

• ^{Shelf styling: alternate vertical and horizontal frames; create breathing room between clusters.}
• ^{Pedestals: treat a small piece like a sculpture—elevate it to eye level.}

‍

^{The organic mix: combine art with flowers, ceramics, and books; echo a color from the artwork nearby for cohesion.}

^{Lighting: a soft spotlight (or indirect lamp) brings out surface texture and color.}
