The current show at Touchstone Gallery, where my piece "Pliable" is currently hanging, ends on Sept. 1 (they are generally open Wed-Sun 12-5 but will also be open on Labor Day).

Another small piece, "Moon Box" (which hung in last year's Artomatic) has been accepted for the upcoming multi-gallery "Women of the DMV" show. ("DMV"="DC, Maryland, Virginia." For some reason, my term "BalWash" has not caught on.) "Moon Box" will be at the McLean Project for the Arts from 9/11 to 11/1, with an opening party on Sept. 18th (7-9 pm).

 I am pleased (& bemused) to report that my piece "Pliable" is going to be in the Aug. 8-Sept. 1st show at Touchstone Gallery in downtown DC. The opening night party on Friday, 8/8 is from 5 to 8 p.m. Come say hi!

Wallmountables 2025

 It's that time again! DCAC is having its annual community art show, and I will have work in it, alongside friends of the collective Opulent Tarnish, Taina Litwak, Ursula Seckel, and many more!

The opening night party is tomorrow -- Friday, July 11th -- from 7 to 9 p.m. After that, the gallery is open from 2 to 7 p.m., Wed.-Sun., and the closing night party (& last chance to buy all that fabulous, inexpensive local art) is Sunday, Aug. 10th.

Go to real places and look at real art made by real people! No salesbot will come to your door.

Collaboratively minded

Two of us are applying for the COLLAB show at Touchstone Gallery, with works that share ingredients (similar/identical found objects, glass and rust collected on shared explorations) and are otherwise "in dialogue" with each other.
