New Art at Adah Rose Gallery in Kensington, MD

5/7/2021

I am excited to have delivered a new piece of art to Adah Rose Gallery in Kensington, MD. This gallery supports contemporary local artists and it's been a pleasure to showcase a few of my abstracts on yupo there. This piece is called ""Walking Down the Beach." The title of this painting is inspired by a line in "Watering the Stones", a poem by Mary Oliver. Oliver was an avid walker, a believer of out of the doors revelations. I hope this painting takes you right to the beach with its shimmer, sound, and salty air.
