I’m excited to be one of the 15 artists selected for ArtSpan’s Selections 2016. The jurors this year are an impressive group, and the artists they selected are do some nicely diverse work.
This exhibition elevates artists from ArtSpan’s member circle into a more visible place of honor. Success as a professional artist relies on opportunities to be recognized as exceptional, thus ArtSpan produces this exhibition as a vehicle to launch emerging artists’ careers as well as nurture established artists by presenting their work to a distinguished panel of art professionals.

Elizabeth Ashcroft, Jihoon Choi, Robin Denevan, Jane Grimm, Tanya Herrera, Audrey Heller, Michael Kerbow, Catherine Kiwala, Denise Laws, Bonnie Levinson, Alice Raymond, Rachel Sager, William Salit, Beth Waldman, & Ealish Wilson
