My photograph “Blind Faith” was selected for the 3rd Annual Juried International Believe 2024 exhibition and publication. "Believe" is an exploration of faith, hope, trust, and the human capacity to find meaning and purpose in life's journey. In our current era, the importance of belief cannot be overstated. This exhibition serves as a powerful platform to showcase how deeply ingrained and universally significant beliefs are to humanity.

The Las Lagunas art gallery is featuring my photograph “Wiser than Dreams” in their Laguna Beach art gallery and online in the exhibition “The 2nd Half,” July 1 – 31. The gallery invited artists 50 or older to submit their works. As we grow older, the maturity and insight life has given us multiplies. The viewpoints and experiences that come with age are invaluable lessons to us all on how to live life - and live it well. During the month of July Las Lagunas will celebrate the talent and wisdom of the artist over 50. Many of the artists who submitted to this exhibition have spent half a lifetime honing their skills and their craft and bring with them a myriad of experiences which helps create and inform their art. The Las Lagunas gallery is pleased to present to you “The 2nd Half.” https://www.laslagunaartgallery.com/current-show
