Happy to share that my piece “Expanding Visions of Wholeness and Harmony: A Tribute to Hendrik Christian Andersen” will be exhibited at @artcenteredu in Pasadena, CA from Nov 3 - Dec 18, 2025 and then on to Rome, Italy at @casamuseoandersen where it will become part of their permanent collection! Thank you to @johndavidobrien for curating me into this exhibit “An International Vision.” A bit about my book:
In the 1918 publication, Creation of a World Centre of Communication, Hendrik Christian Andersen and others espoused the idea of creating a World Centre City, with an International Constitution that would unite countries and bring world harmony. Andersen concluded his preface to the book by advocating for this grand, utopian idea “…for the sake of uplifting the immortal spirit of humanity and of furthering its development.”
That final line by Andersen resonates with me. In response to the spirit of his intent, I created this artist book. My ideas were first based around the circle, the ancient symbol of unity and wholeness. Considering our collective future, I also wanted to include the spiral, a symbol of growth, evolution, expansion, and the graceful flow of energy. These two symbols came together within the squares of the Fibonacci sequence, depicted in the cover design.
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is created by the sum of the previous two digits (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13…) When drawn as a series of squares moving counterclockwise, the sequence creates the golden rectangle, which is the framework for the golden spiral. The paintings in this book follow the numbers of the Fibonacci sequence, as the circles expand page by page. By using the universal symbols of the circle, spiral, and the Fibonacci sequence, this work speaks to Andersen’s message of international unity, harmony, balance, and growth over time and distance.
Step into a sanctuary of stillness and intention, escaping the chaos that surrounds us all at this time, and enjoy a moment of spiritual reflection, meditation, and intention.
Whispers of the Earth is a contemplative all-medium group art exhibition that weaves together visual prayers, blessings, and meditative expressions for the planet and all living beings. Featuring works by contemporary artists, this collection invites visitors into a space where art becomes ritual - where brushstrokes carry compassion, color channels reverence for the earth, and sacred geometry speaks silently. Referencing Zen aesthetics and visionary art infused with sacred intention, each piece offers a moment of quiet reflection, evoking the interconnectedness of life and the healing spirit of the Earth. Visitors are encouraged to pause, breathe, and receive the subtle messages of planetary and self-care, peace, presence, and prayer to heal mind, body, and soul.
This art is made with intention, with love, but also using sacred technologies for modern resilience. Some of these pieces are living devices - energetic harmonizers made for homes, studios, altars and sanctuaries. Not made to impress, made to transmute. Not decoration, but vibration.
Featured artists include Julie Beloussow, Karen Hochman Brown, Janice Burton, Thomas Cox, Maureen Cox, Nicole Fournier, Helen K. Garber, David Stewart Klein, Jay Kruse, Nancy Goodman Lawrence, Erika Lizee, Sarah Pigion, Kevin Rolly, Robert Rosenblum, Ekaterina Sky, Andrea Villafane and Glenn Waggner. Curated by Dale Youngman.

PORTALS
Angels Gate Cultural Center, San Pedro, CA
The "PORTALS" exhibition was curated by Stephanie Sherwood and included works by Erin Harmon, Erika Lizée, Elana Mann, Yevgeniya Mikhailik, Alicia Piller, Esther Ruiz, Howard Schwartzberg, and Svetlana Shigroff at Angels Gate Cultural Center.
PORTALS reflects on the transformative nature of passageways - contemplating ideas of boundaries, entrance and egress, progress, and travel into the unknown. Doorways, both metaphorical and physical, have reappeared in our social consciousness consistently as significant elements in popular cultural narratives and mythology. These portals facilitate growth through the change they welcome into our worlds. Working in tapestry, drawing, neon sculpture, resin and site-specific installation among other mixed media, the artists explore transformation, with the Port of Los Angeles as a relevant foil. PORTALS invites an experiential look at the work of nine contemporary artists whose works speak to the nature of these life-altering gateways.
