"If You Could Read My Mind: An Artist's Journey"


Summit Centre Summer Exhibit
June 25 – September 30, 2025
20 Park Drive, Huntsville

I am very excited to have three paintings in this show - "Oldtimer", "Childhood memories" and "Blue heaven". Connected to the theme, I focused on the stories I bring to each painting, and I think of the memories that the art evokes in the viewer. I hope my painting invites these kinds of mindful connections. An artist's journey, necessarily, engages with the viewer's journey. Hope you might drop in to see this exhibit.

Huntsville Art Crawl


June 1 – August 30, 2025
Main Street Local Kitchen
24 Main Street East, Huntsville

I’m very excited to announce that I am part of the fifth edition of the Huntsville Art Crawl. It will be a first time for me. I’ll be showing my paintings at Main Street Local Kitchen, a casual eating spot with great food, just steps from the water and River Mill Park. Why not drop by this summer for a bite to eat and to look over some of my paintings? I’ll have about 15 or so paintings hanging on the walls there, for your viewing pleasure, and perhaps purchase.
