As 2025 came to a close, NAEA announced its annual Member Art Exhibition. I am so tickled to have been selected to exhibit alongside such an inspiring group of art educators whose creative practices continue to shape classrooms and communities across the country. NAEA received 356 entries, with just 70 artworks jury selected for inclusion, making this opportunity feel especially meaningful. Being part of this exhibition is a celebration of both personal studio practice and a shared commitment to artmaking, teaching, and continuous creative growth.

To enjoy the exhibition, visit the newly designed NAEA website. 

The Artist Teacher Exhibition: Color Stories opening reception will be held on Saturday, October 11, from 6:00–8:00 p.m. at the Workhouse Arts Center.

This year’s exhibition features 78 art faculty from 61 FCPS schools, showcasing the incredible range and creativity of our artist teachers.

Color Stories celebrates the power of color — how it can evoke memory, emotion, and narrative, or simply be downright visually delicious! This exhibition is a vibrant tribute to the artistry and dedication of our educators. The show is on display until December 6th.Description goes here

DesThe Kolaj Institute Gallery in New Orleans recently put out a call for art:

“You mix fear (yellow) and anger (red) and you get a Big Orange Monster. What’s the emergency? There are a lot of Big Orange Monsters on the loose. Monsters only have power if you are afraid of them. So let’s create a space where we can slay our fear of Big Orange Monsters. Art helps us exorcise our demons. Monsters can be glorious and wonderful or horrible and evil. Let’s not cast aside the good Big Orange Monsters because some other Big Orange Monsters are, well… unpleasant.”
