Tennis icon and human rights advocate Martina Navratilova receives the 2024 BBLA Award. It was real honor to meet her. One of my silhouette portrait of Martina was part of the auction fundraiser for Vaclav Havel Foundation.

Silhouette of Amanda Gorman is traveling to Peru! 

Thanks to the Art in Embassies project, the painting was chosen to decorate the official spaces of the new U.S. ambassador’s residence in Lima, under Ambassador Syptak-Ramnath. It was wonderful to watch the painting being professionally prepared for shipping.

“Idylls & Reveries”

August Group Exhibition

Opening on Thursday, August 3rd, 6pm-8pm

On view from August 3rd, 2023 to August 26th, 2023

“Idylls & Reveries” presents a survey of landscape and figuration with a soupçon of peculiarity - a figure is presented in an unsettling flat plane of color, figures are drawn together in unrealistic portrait settings or a woman is shown facing away from the viewer, gazing just out of sight.

This August group show at VillageOneArt presents paintings by Misheel Adams, Bethany Bonfiglio, Olivia Chigas, Yanmei Jiang, Von Hyin Kolk, Yingyao Liang, Jane Philips, Hana Shannon, Deng Xiao, Se Young Yim. Each artist adopts a singular style in presenting a world that approaches what we find while bringing us through the veil of memory into a psychological landscape of idylls and reveries.
