Honored that “Inside Out — Snail Mail (Canada Post)” received an Honorable Mention at the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts’ 115th Annual Juried Exhibition, juried by Catherine Shotick and Mark Zunino, on view at the Slater Memorial Museum in Norwich, CT through today. Grateful for the recognition!

BildBildJURORS' STATEMENT Inside Out: Snail Mail Canada Post reimagines a familiar object within an unexpected landscape, inviting viewers to pause and reconsider the ordinary. The brilliant red mailbox anchors the composition against a field ofrepeating geometric forms, creating a compelling balance of color, pattern, and space Close observatior reveals thoughtful design and subtle visual details that contribute to its sense of mystery. Both technically accomplished and conceptually engaging, the painting transforms an everyday scene into something unexpected.
