A LITTLE MORE ON THE SHOW

There was a time when I longed to know what it would feel like to stay in one place — to feel settled, to build a community, to know people and to be known.

After eight years in Philadelphia, the truth looks different than I once imagined. Faces have come and gone. The familiarity I dreamed of never fully arrived.

Maybe that’s city life. Maybe it’s old hurt, or restlessness, or simply the way life moves.

In that space between longing and connection, I began painting strangers. Their faces became company when I needed it most — quiet companions through joy and heartbreak alike. Over time, the collection grew, holding me in presence when permanence felt elusive.

Now, as I prepare to move on, I’m hosting this one-night salon in my empty apartment — among its exposed brick walls and sweeping windows, where so much of this work was made and lived beside me. It is both a goodbye and a gathering: an invitation to stand in the in-between, among portraits and figures, strangers and friends, faces painted and present, each carrying their own weather.
