In 2019, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in a two-week artist-in-residence program along the ocean seashore, thanks to Fire Island National Seashore. Subsequently, as a result of this enriching experience, the participating artists were given the opportunity to display their creative works inspired by their time there. Although delayed by the pandemic, the long-awaited exhibition now showcases the works of seven artists from 2019 to 2022.

The exhibition can be found at the National Parks Watch Hill Ferry Terminal, located in Patchogue, NY, throughout the month of July. Among the works on display, I am proud that five of my own paintings are featured, adding my unique perspective to the collection. Each painting tells a story, capturing the essence of the seashore and its influence on my creative journey.
