(e)merge art fair

After a fun three day exhibition, meeting art enthusiasts and artists, watching reactions and interactions with my work, sadly the event has come to an end.
Thank you for your support and a follow my blog to keep updated on whats happening in the art scene.

Below are photos of my work and some of the 154 different artists that were on display. The best part of the show was the large variety of work and styles featured. There was something for everyone, with strong and emotional art performances, great work from students of M.I.C.A and Corcoran, and artists unrepresented and represented through galleries. Each day brought in the crowds and with that a lot of energy that is not seen too often in DC, especially over art.

First and foremost, MY WORK as shown below.

 

"Whispers of Hope"

 Sonia's beautiful hands.

Prayer at the Altar

 "I want, I want, I want"
