Every artist knows the feeling of standing before a blank surface — the weight of potential, the pressure of possibility. I’m pleased to say I have four pieces in the beautiful Women Painters of Washington’s exhibition. A Brush With Color invites artists to explore their relationship with color: not just as a visual tool, but as memory, mood, and identity. The theme drew a remarkable range of work, from the bold to the quietly contemplative, and the result is a show that rewards the viewer. I hope you’ll visit the beautiful Columbia Center gallery and see this dynamic exhibition for yourself.
