The Beverly Arts - Dialogues on the Knoll Panel Discussion

So proud to be included in the exhibition Dialogues on the Knoll in West Hollywood, curated by Kipton Cronkite. There is some lovely press shared by The Beverly Arts that recaps the recent open house and panel discussion.

“West Hollywood, California, USA. 28th January, 2026. "Dialogues on the Knoll" brought together 19 contemporary artists whose practices explored how art can ground us in a world of constant motion. Curated by Kipton Cronkite, with salon partner and artist Todd Williamson, the exhibition unfolded across four newly completed luxury townhouses, situated on a quiet knoll in West Hollywood, transforming the residential architecture into an immersive artistic landscape. The event included a panel discussion which brought together leaders from art, architecture, real estate, and design to consider how creative practice and the built environment intersect—shaping the way we live, gather, and find meaning in place.”

The panelists were Kipton Cronkite, Curator; James Frost, Frost/Chaddock Developers; Christopher Gialanella, President/Publisher, Los Angeles Magazine; Ryan Gordon Jackson, Principal, Studio Jackson Inc.; Paul Lester, Partner/Founder, The Agency; Leo Marmol, Artist and Architect, Marmol Radziner; Todd Williamson, Artist and Salon Partner.

Participating artists included Mark Acetelli, Charles Arnoldi, Kristina Rose Baker, Mads Christensen, Christina Craemer, Shane Guffogg, Steve Hash, Alexandria Hilfiger, Caroline P.M. Jones, David Paul Kay, Mona Kuhn, Brandon Lomax, Leo Marmol, Bernardo Montgomery, Harry Moody, Mohamed Ouedraogo, Theo Pinto, Cybele Rowe, and Todd Williamson.

Dialogues on the Knoll - West Hollywood

I’m pleased to share that my paintings Altadena Crest Trail, Sam Merrill Trail, and Untitled are currently featured in Dialogues on the Knoll in West Hollywood.

Dialogues on the Knoll gathers a circle of artists whose practices seek grounding amid a world in motion. Sculpture, sound, light, painting, and functional art converge to explore the delicate balance between rupture and repair, chaos and contemplation. Clay, bronze, stone, pigment, and frequency each become vessels for transformation—holding emotional, ecological, and spiritual memory in their form. Across the exhibition, we encounter works that surface the rawness of being human, alongside gestures toward healing, ritual, and inner stillness. Some pieces mirror the turbulence of the collective moment; others offer refuge, sanctuary, or breath. Together, they create a living dialogue—an invitation to pause, listen, and inhabit the space between intensity and quiet. On this West Hollywood knoll, the salon becomes both lookout and landing place, where uncertainty and beauty can coexist, and where stillness is not the absence of noise, but the presence of awareness.

COLLECTIVE ARTISTS:  Mark Acetelli, Charles Arnoldi, Kristina Rose Baker, Brian Chaaban, Mads Christensen, Christina Craemer, Shane Guffogg, Steve Hash, Alexandria Hilfiger, Caroline P.M.

Stone Soup at Soka University

I’m grateful that two new paintings will be included in the group show Stone Soup at Soka University, opening on September 18th and running through January 22, 2026, co-curated by Frances DePhillips and Shayla Rose-Brown.

Stone Soup: A Group Exhibition at Soka University
Founders Art Gallery at Soka University of America presents Stone Soup, a group exhibition featuring Southern California artists working in 2D and 3D media. The exhibition focuses on intergenerational connection, community, and the role of visual storytelling in bridging perspectives across time and experience.

Curated by Frances DePhillips and Shayla Rose-Brown, recent graduates of Soka University, the exhibition draws inspiration from the Stone Soup folktale—a story of individuals contributing to a shared creation. In this context, each artist’s work represents a unique “ingredient” that, together, forms a collective exploration of human connection.

Stone Soup highlights the ways art can spark dialogue between generations, offering visitors an opportunity to reflect on what we share across age, culture, and lived experience.
