Hope in the moment: New monotypes on display at Four Eleven Gallery in Provincetown

My new works will be at Four Eleven Gallery in Provincetown from August 8-21, 2025. See gallery below for a preview! I am showing two bodies of work. The minimalist “dune shack reverie” series was made this spring while staying at the Ray Wells dune shack with the Peaked Hill Trust. The maximalist “night garden” series depicts the unexpected shape shifting magic of Provincetown’s famed gardens at night. In these difficult times, I found hope in the moments I depict in these works.

I work in abstraction, using layers of pigment and form to evoke the ways we experience and hold weathered memories about place and space. My process is one of excavation—where emotion, experience, and time meet in layered form. My works chart the overlapping layers of consciousness: what we remember, what fades, what returns altered. The works are made in such a way that they gradually build into textured, emotionally resonant fields.

In doing this work, I draw on a background in social work and public policy, disciplines where lives and systems intersect, and where story is rarely linear. My visual practice honors that same complexity. There is vulnerability here, but also insistence. Each print offers a tactile intimacy—gestures that surface, recede, and blur into one another, holding space for the ambiguous and the unseen.
