This plein air piece was the submission and winner of the "Friends of the Yellow Barn Spring Paint 2024," depicting an entrance to the Ballroom at Glen Echo Park, in Maryland. The hard light and shadows drew me to this spot; as well as the shade provided by the pavilion I painted under.

Artist's Statement:

I consider myself a "Millennial Artist" as I have one foot in traditional art and the other in digital art. I also have a hand in medieval tools and techniques due to my upbringing. I do a wide variety of mediums: watercolors, soft pastels, gouache, oils, lino-cut block printing, jewelry making, paint making, and soap making. There may be a touch of my mother's ADHD in there. Currently I tend to focus on plein air watercolors and pastels; I am also exploring more with gouache.
