America the Beautiful series
I started painting American flags in 2007 during the George W. Bush administration. Over the years I’ve returned to flags to process uncertain political times. Recently, I’ve started expanding the series to include flags of individual states and countries.

This exhibition aims to investigate and celebrate the new media, methods, and creative journeys our artists are embracing—whether through experimentation with unfamiliar materials, innovative processes, or fresh interpretations of traditional forms.
By highlighting work created within the past two years, New Works 2025 reflects the vitality of our regional arts community and honors the commitment artists make to push boundaries, take risks, and expand their practice. The exhibition seeks to inspire dialogue between artists and audiences, encouraging exploration of both the familiar and the unexpected in contemporary artmaking.
