SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "HOME v.2: Homeland"
DESCRIPTION: I am thrilled to participate in “HOME v.2: Homeland“\, an exhibition presented by the Decatur Arts Alliance\, happening in Decatur\, Georgia\nMay 29 – July 18\, 2026 \nThe Decatur Arts Alliance and the Decatur Land Trust are partnering with the Decatur Library to present the second edition of powerful art show celebrating the multifaceted meaning of “Home.”\nArtists working in an array of mediums lend their creative voices to this important cause. \nThe theme for “HOME v.2 2026” is “HOMELAND.” \n“A person’s or a people’s native land\, we look to explore “homeland” as a geographical point of origin and a state of being. Works should express cultural and ethnic elements\, and elucidate the view of “home” from the immigrant to the expatriate\, the displaced to the indigenous. How do we find “home” when we are away from the land of our forebears? What do newly arrived peoples do to preserve their culture and heritage? How do we honor and acknowledge the indigenous inhabitants of the lands upon which we all now live?” \nThe exhibiting artists’ creativity illuminate the diverse ways we experience and define “home\,” and their connection with a “HOMELAND.” \nPlease view the EXHIBITION CATALOGUE HERE!\nFurther Information HERE!\nI will be showing:\n“Torrent and Tangle: Keep Your House in Order”\n\n\n  \n\n\n  \nThe HOME Exhibition is a multimedia showcase presented by the Decatur Arts Alliance in collaboration with the Decatur Land Trust and the Decatur branch of the Dekalb County Public Library. The exhibition will be shown in the Fourth Floor Gallery of the Decatur Library\, home to the Georgia Center for the Book.\n\nThe show will run May 29 – July 17\, 2026\nOpening reception on Friday\, May 29 from 6:30-9pm.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: “Black\, White & Gray” at Drawing Rooms
DESCRIPTION:I am pleased to share that I am participating in the exhibition “Black\, White & Gray” at DRAWING ROOMS\, curated by Anne Trauben\nThe achromatic “Black\, White & Gray” exhibition runs from  6/11/26 – 7/11/26.\nPlease see show on ARTSY!\n\n\nThis exhibition will showcase exciting works which focus on graphic form\, delicate abstraction\, narrative works\, and anything and everything in between using achromatic colors–black and white which sit on opposing ends of the grayscale–and works in gray too!  \nBlack\, as with all achromatic colors\, lacks hue and absorbs all light wavelengths. White combines and reflects all visible wavelengths\, so while it contains all colors\, it is still perceived as lacking hue. The contrast between white and black is the greatest of any color combination\, providing a bold and dramatic look.  \nFamous artworks using an achromatic color scheme—composed entirely of black\, white\, and grey—focus on form\, contrast\, and texture over color. Examples include Bridget Riley’s op-art piece White Disks\, Kazimir Malevich’s Black Square\, featuring a simple black square on a white background\, Robert Motherwell’s Elegy to the Spanish Republic series\, Vija Celmins’ gray-toned illustrations of oceans\, deserts\, and night skies\, and Franz Kline’s large-scale\, black-and-white abstract expressionist paintings\, such as Black\, White\, and Gray. \nIn keeping with our love of music\, “Black White & Gray: an Achromatic Color Exhibition” is dedicated to the song “Back to Black” by Amy Winehouse\, an English singer\, songwriter\, and musician\, a global phenomena\, who blended jazz\, soul\, R&B into her music. Known for her distinctive contralto vocals\, beehive hairstyle and tattoo’s\, Amy won five Grammys and was the first British woman to do so. “Back to Black” is a critically acclaimed 2006 song detailing intense emotional turmoil\, heartbreak\, and despair following a breakup and reclaiming her power while singing it. We loved Amy and this song\, as well as so many of her other songs. \n————————————– \nDrawing Rooms  is a nonprofit art space and gallery in the Topps Building on the Mana Complex in the Journal Square neighborhood in Jersey City. We show two and three-dimensional works by emerging and mid-career artists in NJ and the NY metropolitan area\, as well as nationally and internationally. Since 2001\, our innovative and exciting exhibitions\, public programs\, and publications have enriched the lives of our community through an appreciation of and involvement with contemporary art. \nAbout the Curator \n Anne Trauben is the Curator and Gallery Director at Drawing Rooms. She began working with Victory Hall Inc. in 2009\, and was a founding artist of Drawing Rooms in 2012. Since 2013\, she has organized\, curated and created programming for year-round exhibitions of multiple artists at Drawing Rooms in the former convent on Grand St. in Jersey City and\, since 2018\, at the new Drawing Rooms gallery on the Mana complex.
