Happy to have my work selected for the So Real-Surreal online show! https://www.ohanloncenter.org/2021/11/surreal-so-real/

From the press release:
“It appears we are living in surrealistic times. The Surrealist Manifesto of André Breton was published almost 100 years ago, and the Dadaists were turning the world upside down to see how it looked. Now it is time to express a 2.0 version that speaks to our world of post fact, post rational, and multiple “realities.” The artists in this show share their dreams, hallucinations, fanciful imaginings, and unconscious through their uniquely “distorted” and “bizarre” lens.”

New York ArtExpo was a blast!  It was great to see the art world reopen, to meet new artists, and make connections with new art collectors. Looking forward to participating in more big fairs like this!

Perseus Gallery hosted my new series of clay and glass sculptures along with this piece.

Sirin, my first piece created in our new home town of Newmarket, NH, is at the “Forward, Anew” Millspace Gallery along with some of my other sculptures. This piece was inspired by my daily walks in the forest and by the mythological creature of Russian legends. This half-woman half-bird hybrid creature embodies world harmony, as she lives near paradise. According to the legend, only happy people could hear a Sirin while only very few could see one because she is as fast and difficult to catch as human happiness. I hope we can all catch glimpses of her more often these days.

Foursquared exhibition in San Francisco was very successful and inspired me to create more wall narrative pieces. This one started with the swan, then a happy Buddha face appeared instead of swan head. While I was listening about history of armor a knight helmet landed. He holds an old fashioned pen to write the poem about new beginnings.

It is our first fall in New England and I can’t get enough of autumns’ vibrant, majestic foliage against the deep blue sky in our woods. I love bringing my sculptures outside and it feels like many of them, like this piece, fit right into the current environment!

Hope you are staying well and being creative!
