About the exhibition:
The duo exhibition Held In Motion at Rubenstein Chan Contemporary Art showcases my new and recent work alongside Taiwanese-American artist Chenhung Chen.
My collection of works in Held in Motion grew from stillness, intuition, and my lifelong dialogue with water and with painting, as both medicine and metaphor. to create this body of paintings, I let go of control, moving with breath and body over canvas until each layer finds its own flow and harmony, inviting you into that same quiet, embodied presence.

Together with Chenhung Chen’s meditative visions, this exhibition is a moment to feel the pulse of life’s energy and to celebrate how art can guide us back to calm and connection.

"At the core of two exceptional artists’ practices is a belief in art as a form of meditation. Each artist engages with materials through repetitive, intuitive actions that quiet the mind and heighten awareness: Chi, breath, intuition, and emotional release. Despite cultural and formal differences, both bodies of work emerge from a search for harmony and healing."
