White Linen Night at Ellio Fine Art

I’ll be exhibiting seven recent paintings with Ellio Fine Art for their annual White Linen Night. I’m so grateful to be included in this thoughtful three-person show alongside artists Audrey Tulimiero Welch and Shanti Conlan. I’ll be visiting Houston for a few days surrounding the opening reception and am looking forward to meeting the gallery and exploring a city that has astounding support for the arts. Many thanks to Trish Matute for her support of my work!

“Celebrate with ELLIO Fine Art as we introduce the gallery’s newest represented artists:  Audrey Tulimierro Welch, Kristina Rose Baker, and Houston’s own Shanti Conlan. This year’s exhibition brings together 3 distinctive artistic voices whose practices span abstraction, painting, and printmaking.  For our 5th Annual White Linen Night Exhibition don your best white linen and join us for fine art, culture and community, accompanied by live music from Miles Oppenger, a HSPVA Alumnus who’s currently studying at the Manhattan School of Music and libations crafted by our favorite neighbors, Clarkwood.”

Eight Seconds / Eight Weeks : Artist-in-Residence Exhibition

After eight weeks as the inaugural Artist-in-Residence at Laguna Lab, I'm excited to share Eight Seconds / Eight Weeks, an exhibition of paintings created entirely during the residency. Inspired by the landscapes and communities of Sonoma County, the work explores the American West as both lived experience and metaphor.

The title of the exhibition draws a parallel between the eight-second ride of a bull rider and the duration of the eight-week residency program. The resulting paintings developed as a poetic comparison between bull riding and maintaining a painting practice. The uncertain and unpredictable nature of creating a painting demands instinct, risk-taking, and perseverance in order to “ride the bull” without being bucked off.

Alongside completed paintings, the exhibition includes works in progress, offering a glimpse into the evolving process behind the finished works and inviting viewers to experience painting not only as a final resting image, but as an ongoing site of exploration and discovery.

More Disruption: Representational Art in Flux at the Oceanside Museum of Art

I’m ecstatic to announce my participation in “More Disruption: Representational Art in Flux”, juried by John Seed, Aleah Chapin, and Timothy Robert Smith at the Oceanside Museum of Art. The exhibition explores representational art that has been reshaped and “disrupted”—including by abstraction, web-based imagery, and socio-politcal concerns—in response to contemporary life and its challenges.

The opening reception is on Saturday, June 8th between 5-7pm. The exhibition runs until September 15th.
