I\u2019m pleased to share that my painting, Brass in Full Voice<\/em>, is currently on view at the Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie Mansion as part of the Trenton Makes Jazz<\/em> exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The piece reflects my ongoing interest in the figure and scenes from everyday life, and in this case, how rhythm and movement can be translated visually. Jazz has a physicality to it \u2014 an improvisational energy \u2014 and I approached this work with that same sense of immediacy and responsiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trenton Makes Jazz<\/em> is a juried exhibition featuring artists responding to the history and spirit of jazz across a range of media. The show runs through March 22, 2026, at Ellarslie Mansion in Cadwalader Park, Trenton, NJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re in the area, I hope you\u2019ll have a chance to see the exhibition in person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
