I’m going to Portugal!

I'm thrilled to share some exciting news: I’ve been invited to participate in the 11th Biennial International Printmaking Exhibition in Douro, Portugal! This prestigious, invitation-only exhibition opens on August 10th, 2023 and runs through October 31st — and I’m honored to have two pieces included:

• Jean Paul Gaultier — a dry-point etching with hand tinting

• Alber Elbaz — a monotype

This year’s exhibition features 800 works by 500 artists from 65 countries, shown across eight venues throughout the scenic Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. My work will be on display at the main venue, the Douro Museum, with the first opening reception taking place there on August 10th at 5:00 p.m.

And here's the part that truly humbles me: after the exhibition, my artwork will be added to the Douro Museum’s permanent printmaking collection — part of a new museum initiative dedicated to the art of printmaking in the region.

It’s an incredible honor to be included, and I can’t wait to share more from this international experience soon!
