D.A.G. 2022 Members' Showcase Exhibition

Excited to have a piece in a gallery for the first time since returning to the U.S. The Durham Art Guild always curates well done exhibitions and the space at the SunTrust Gallery is lovely. Love the place of my painting “Transitions: Divided Heart no. 6”! Visit D.A.G.’s site for more info.

Returning to the studio

Finally after moving from Kosovo back to the RDU area, buying and remodeling a home (oh and the year of COVID), I’m back to painting in my new home studio.

Transition painting series focuses on my transition from Kosovo to Raleigh.

Signs of Life Series started

After another 2 year break, I've been able to set-up my studio and finish 3 paintings started 2 years ago. In addition, I'm working on 5 other paintings in the series. Check out the finished paintings in this series so far HERE. Below are some works in progress.

New works in progress

Five new paintings started

After almost 2 years off from painting due to preparing, packing, moving, and finally settling in in Eastern Europe, I'm painting again!

My last series was inspired by a particular house in Kosovo on my first trip (2013). Little did I know I would end up living in that very house (its a flat) and have my studio on its first floor!

Now I am painting what I see as I am IN that very house looking out. These works continue my love of playing with color and layering and layering color.
