Installation Views

  • Three framed japanese woodblock prints on a wall, next to a block of wall text on a green background.
  • Art gallery interior view featuring framed artworks displayed on light gray walls above dark hardwood floors. On the main wall, a large vertical abstract piece with a bold blue color field hangs next to a framed print depicting red candied apples on sticks. Through a doorway to the left, another gallery room displays a painting and a ceramic vase on a pedestal.
  • Two print series, one a pair and the other a series of five works, framed on a gray wall in a gallery with grey walls, wooden floors, and a bench.
