Windswept—A Solo Exhibition

On exhibit at the Arts Council Gallery in Tuscaloosa’s Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center October 2-30

These paintings were created in response to the freedom I craved—and eventually felt—during the midst of social distancing and COVID-19. Inspired by a mid-summer road trip out West, these paintings mimic the sights and sounds from those travels—the rustling of leaves, the vibrancy of the dirt of the Colorado Plateau, the contrast and suddenness of greenery along the cliffsides, the flickering of light in the afternoon, and the respite and energy I felt while hiking and driving in new surroundings. They were a release of months of pent-up energy—bold, energetic, and free.
