Exhibitions
These are the exhibitions I'm part of in 2026 — all of them at Mirada Art on Main, the gallery I co-founded at 355 Main Street in downtown Half Moon Bay, California. Each show is built around a theme, with a rotating group of painters, photographers, jewelers, and makers whose work speaks to that idea. I show my abstract acrylic paintings in every exhibition. This is where you can find what I'm working on and what I'm thinking about throughout the year.
Holding Light
May 28 - June 22, 2026
Mirada Art, Half Moon Bay, CA
Basking in the Afterglow started as a large, very pink flower that I painted over, quieted down, let go. What remained was a swirl of soft pink and warm peach, and a bird shape that survived from underneath, its eye and wing still visible if you look for them.
It's always had that glow: the feeling of being satisfied and at ease.
Made by Hand
June 25 - July 20, 2026
Mirada Art, Half Moon Bay, CA
The king isn't moving. Everything pressing in from every side — the marks, the patterns, the chaos — and he just stands there.
Made by Hand feels like the right show for this one. Most of the stencils and stamps are ones I made myself, and there's something fitting about hand-built tools being part of a painting about holding your ground.
At the Edge
July 23 - August 17, 2026
Mirada Art, Half Moon Bay, CA
The colors came from memory. Hawaiian Tropic, good company, a beach day that didn't need to be anything more than itself. At the Edge is about the shoreline in peak summer, and this one has always lived there.
Woven Through
August 20 - September 14, 2026
Mirada Art, Half Moon Bay, CA
There's a tree underneath this painting. Layer by layer it got covered, quieted, brought forward in a different way. Woven Through is about patient process and slow accumulation, and this one is exactly that.
The Fog Lifts
September 17 - October 12, 2026
Mirada Art, Half Moon Bay, CA
Swallowing the Moon and the Stars sits in that hour when the fog hasn't decided whether to lift. The white layers over the surface like something still burning off, circular forms hovering half-visible beneath it, the way a shape reveals itself and disappears again as the coast clears in pieces. Blue moves underneath in deep, unresolved pools. It's part of the Singing the Blues series, and it belongs here because it never fully resolves into clarity or stays in the haze, it holds both at once.
Inner Weather
October 15 - November 11, 2026
Mirada Art, Half Moon Bay, CA
The title says everything and nothing. It's the most literally interior painting I've made: the inside of an emotional state that doesn't have a cleaner name than that. Inner Weather is its home.
The Long Way Home
November 12 - December 9, 2026
Mirada Art, Half Moon Bay, CA
This one came from a passage in John Crowley's Little, Big — Grandfather Trout, perfectly content in his stretch of stream. The idea that the place you belong is exactly where you are. The Long Way Home is about return and memory, and this is what arrival feels like.
Still and Bright
December 10 - January 4, 2026
Mirada Art, Half Moon Bay, CA
A night at The Fillmore, all that light and sound and movement in a dark room. Still and Bright closes the year. Light in darkness, stillness after everything. This painting knows both sides of that.
