I am happy to announce “Transcendence” will be included in the RAM (Regional Art Museum) Annual Invitational: INCLUSION show. The annual invitation is a national competitive exhibition hosted by the Fort Smith Regional Art museum since 1948.

This exhibition pays homage to the historical significance of silver and gold in art, bridging eras and cultures to create a dialogue between traditional and contemporary expression. “Silver and Gold” explores the timeless allure of these precious metals. Their luminosity and reflective qualities evoke a sense of opulence, divine light, and transcendence, extending an invitation for contemplation and reflection. .
