March 2025

The Falls Church Arts gallery staged an exhibit entitled “Light and Dark” – a photography show.  I entered the maximum allowance of three pictures and, much to my surprise, they were all accepted.  These were all pictures I had done myself, in the days when I had my own darkroom and equipment.  From rolling the film to printing the resulting pictures, I loved it all.  Two of those photographs are on the wall behind me, and as of this writing, the top one has sold.

Here I am at the opening of the Falls Church Arts show, with the theme “Vivid”.  The picture is a silkscreen I did a while ago, in a class I was taking.  The biggest crowd I have seen came to the opening.

Here I am at the Falls Church Arts gallery show, “Flora and Fauna”.  My accepted entry is a pen and ink study of a snail.  I created it in an illustration class I took some time ago.  So yes, I can do some types of traditional art.   Photo by Judy Ortiz.

 

My piece “Diagonal Chai” was accepted to the members’ show at the Falls Church Arts gallery.  On opening night, a reporter from the Falls Church News-Press covered the story, and wrote a very nice piece about the show and my artwork in particular.  I am so appreciatve!

In March, I was invited by my synagogue, Olam Tikveh, to give a video talk on my work, as part of their “OT Talks” program.  Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLQe8kMnqRc.   I appreciated the opportunity and it served as an introduction to meet more members of the community.
