Artist Talk - Art in Every Space

Last month, Mayor Alyia Gaskins launched her Art in Every Space pilot initiative that places original artwork by Alexandria-area artists in local businesses. I was inspired to create the Second Bloom collection. A select number of my artworks is now displayed at two locations in Alexandria city: Cowo & Crèche and Crilley Warehouse Executive Offices. You can visit these and all other locations (23 locations) during their business hours. Below are the reception events happening at Cowo & Crèche and Crilley Warehouse Executive Offices and more.
