I am part of an upcoming group exhibition at Bannister Gallery in Rhode Island College. If you’re in Rhode Island next month, stop by and see it!
Collective Unconscious
I currently have my work up in the university gallery, and I’m proud to see my linocut illustrations alongside such talented graphic artists from all over the world. We have been working to put this show together since some of us met in Portugal as part of a printmaking biennial back in 2023. We were even lucky enough to host one of the artists as she was able to come to Dubai from Poland for the opening and speak about her creative process.
The theme of our show was memory, and the written statement for my contributions were as follows:
If we’re not careful, we lose our memories as they disappear on the horizon. They skew and warp as we get further from childhood; further from the adventures that get shinier right before they vanish forever. With some effort, we can return to those days of imagination, or at least recapture the feeling of it. The smell of freshly brewed coffee and linoleum shavings; The feeling of the tide pulling you in; The sound of the dodo calling. Climb out of the bottle and look inside.
Etihad 20th Anniversary Exhibition
I am currently one of twenty UAE-based artists chosen to represent Etihad Airlines in their 20th Anniversary Exhibition, United in Time. They selected my ink brush and linocut piece, Wave, which will be digitally displayed in the Abu Dhabi airport and will be physically exhibited at the Kempinski Hotel in the Mall of the Emirates. My work and process is also featured in the Etihad announcement video.
Student Painting Exhibition at AUD
Now viewable in the American University in Dubai rotunda gallery, an exhibition of my students’ paintings from this semester. So far, they’ve made a series of paintings inspired by modern art styles, explored abstraction of a subject, and painted a figure from observation. I’m looking forward to seeing what they make for their final projects.
