‘Glimmer on the Horizon’ presented by Down Gallery in collaboration with DC Bar Foundation is a virtual benefit exhibition on Artsy on view from July 9 - August 1 2026.

I’m excited to have several of my paintings a part of an exhibit that explores the intersection of art, advocacy, and justice. Proceeds support the DC Bar Foundation’s mission to provide access to legal aid services for DC residents.

I’ve been thinking about how we engage with information, mass media, and popular culture, with or without our consent. An accumulation of text, paint smearing over information, forcing layers, and stories into abstraction.

Curated by Niyah Smith and Madison King.
Join us for the opening reception this Friday, April 3rd, 5 pm - 9 pm.

🌸 Artist talk: 7:30 pm.

“Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society. The work of love, peace, and justice will always be necessary, until their realism and their imperative takes hold of our imagination, crowds out any dream of hatred or revenge, and fills up our existence with their power.”
― John Lewis

The street that shaped me as a kid is named Somerset Road. Nestled within the bold but quiet folds of Prince George’s County, Maryland, where the Green Line always knew the way, carrying me faithfully to and from the chocolate city.
