Thanks to Adah Rose Gallery, I have a collection of 12 black and white Polaroids on view at Sub Urban Trading Company in Kensington, Maryland, for the month of April. The work ranges from solitary abstract-like images to diptychs and triptychs of summery scenes, and is the first time my work has been shown on its own by a gallery.

Sub Urban Trading Company is located at 10301 Kensington Pkwy, Kensington, MD 20895

While you’re in Kensington, don’t miss Adah Rose Gallery located in Antiques Row at 3766 Howard Avenue, for several of my Polaroid transfers and the current exhibit, which changes monthly. Be sure to look through the artist portfolios, too.

On April 14 and 15, stop by The Adah Rose Pop Up Gallery @ Kate’s, a 2-day art exhibit in a private residence in the Logan Circle neighborhood featuring artwork by local artists, including several of my own pieces. Participating artists include: Andrew Acquadro, John James Anderson, Joan Belmar, Tom Block, Lori Anne Boocks, Mei Mei Chang, Ian Delaney Doherty, Dana Ellyn, Elizabeth Grusin-Howe, Brie Husted, Laila Jadallah, Angela Kleis, Sidney Lawrence, Joyce McCarten, Susan Stacks, Aniekan Udofia, Suzanne Yurdin, and Julie Wolsztynski.

My photo of The Flood Zone was selected for 12 12 Gallery’s Richmond Juried Photography Exhibition which opens with a reception on Sunday, February 26.

The Flood Zone, now called something else, was an old tobacco warehouse on 18th Street in Shockoe Bottom where I saw bands like Social Distortion, GWAR, Reverend Horton Heat, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, Jimmy Cliff, Dave Matthews Band and others in the early to mid ’90s.

On Sunday, I ran in the Marine Corps Marathon for the third year in a row. Not only did I run my fastest pace for the first half, I took six full minutes off of last year’s time and a solid minute off of 2009. I met my goal and think I’ll stick with 10-milers and half-marathons for awhile.

I’ve also been very busy with the FotoWeek blog, returning as editor for the third year.

FotoWeek DC opens this Friday - be sure to make it down to FotoWeek Central, in the former Borders store, at 18th & L Streets NW. Check the blog for lots of good info on exhibits there and at participating galleries!

My work may now be seen at the Adah Rose Gallery, which just opened this month in Kensington, Maryland. In addition to a short portfolio of my work in the flat file, this emulsion transfer is on exhibit, along with artwork from many other artists.

Don’t forget about the artdc Gallery’s 12×12 show, which includes two of my transfers, and the WPA Flat-File exhibit at the (e)merge Art Fair coming up next weekend.

Next month, I will participate in Washington Project for the Arts‘ Members Flat File at the (e)merge art fair (which I applied to with my emulsion transfers and was rejected, sadface). If you go to (e)merge, stop by WPA’s room and view the portfolio full of work by WPA members. (e)merge will be located at the Washington Skyline Hotel September 22-25, 2011.

All posts can be found on their very own page, sorted by date, with a link to the original piece, and will be updated as new ones are published: Smithsonian Studio Arts blog, DCist, and Examiner.

The FotoWeek blog is a little more complicated since there are so many posts, so just visit the blog to see the latest news.

As a Patron of artdc.org, artists get a few perks, like being in a show. The artdc Gallery’s Patron Show opens on May 14 in Hyattsville with a reception from 7 to 10 p.m. This all-media exhibit is a collection of the best work by supporters of artdc Gallery, and coincides with several other receptions and open studios in the Hyattsville Arts District.

Due to popularity and heavy traffic, The Polaroid Retrospective II has been extended for another week at the Lamont Bishop Gallery. Don’t miss this showing of inventive photographs celebrating the iconic instant film. And, you can see my latest emulsion transfers.
