I am a finalist for the Bethesda Painting Awards this year. This is the biggest award for painting in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area with a top prize of $10,000. I am joined by seven other incredible artists in this show: Christopher Batten, Sanah Brown-Bowers, Ellen Burchenal, Barbara Epstein Gruber, Lou Haney, Mary Proenza, and Elaine Qiu. The public reception takes place on Friday, June 14, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Gallery B in Bethesda. The awards will be announced in early June, so keep your fingers crossed for me! Gallery B is located at 7700 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite E, Bethesda, Maryland.
