Arabella's art and culture with a dash of gas
Although the opening happened a while ago, I thought I would recap my solo show with BoxHeart Gallery called "Soft Sugars" of all my little goopy colorful paintings. It was a steady stream of people throughout the run of the show even up until the last day, and it was really cool to field so… Continue reading Soft Sugars Opening in Pittsburgh

This painting was completed during my Akron Soul Train residency, so technically not that new, but made in 2019 and it hasn't been widely circulated. "Equinox" 30x30 inches, oil on canvas. A lot of bits and pieces in this painting were created in 3D modeling software (which I am still getting the hang of) and… Continue reading New Painting: Equinox
My solo exhibition "Soft Sugars" is now available via Artsy and BoxHeart Gallery in Pittsburgh. The show is up until August 23rd. I made a little video talking about my painting process and how the whole thing keeps evolving. https://youtu.be/MV57VG1y7OA As you will be able to tell, I kind of gave up trying to paint… Continue reading How My Paintings Continue to Evolve
