This weekend + Upcoming Show Dates
Feb 27- March 1, March 14 - April 19, June 28+++
Greetings All,
I trust this newsletter finds you entering with ease both the Gregorian and astrological New Year, as excitement for the coming spring begins to bud.
There are many opportunities approaching to see new works of mine + work I will be releasing to the world after many years of labor, a special preview of which is included here along with important dates and details for those interested in joining.
All my shows are free and open to the public! I believe to partake art - either making or viewing, is to join in the age old dialogue that shapes culture, and this is an activity that is open to all, so you are invited.
Katapultt - French 75 - a group show opening February 27
February 27 from 5-10 PM - Join us for drinks during the opening evening

Fifteen newly finished paintings will hang alongside the works of Charbel Abou Zeidan, Nele Vandenberghe, Nina Van denbempt, Renée Pevernagie, Sean Crossley, Tim Theo Deceuninck, Stijn Cole, & Rover Project
“Abigail Tulis floats towards us, like an otherworldly swan, slowly drifting into our field of vision. She trained as a sculptor and lived in New York for several years. The swan wanted to put down roots somewhere local and build a nest, so she flew to a castle near Bruges, where she has now been living for two years. She gathers inspiration from ancient techniques and masters, archives, and literature. This makes her work enchanting, timeless, and completely unique.”
- Pascaline Van den Hooff
Galerie P - Metamorphoses - A group show opening 14 March

April 26th - Collectors Studio Bruch with Galerie P, Kasteel Rooigem
Sign up here to snag on of the last few spots available - I will be serving a Bruch of some of my favorite flavors, giving a small walking tour to my favorite trees, and offering a special preview of what will be coming up this summer…..
Coming up this summer: The Lady of Shalott - The Mudel Museum, Deinze
The Biënnale van de Schilderkunst opens in the Mudel June 28 and I am so so thrilled to share that my my Lady of Shalott Series will be released in full (all 13 large paintings)!
I have been working on this story for over 5 years… wow it has been a journey, a psychomagic study in making art of my most intimate life, and having life follow art. The lady lived, and despite all I could do, the lady died. She hid herself from the world, but in sharing her, I will no longer hide myself.
To complete the cycle of her life, I will be creating an instillation of these monumental works along with excerpts of the ladies journal, documenting her creative process, interpreted by unrequited love, hysteria, and ultimately, her demise. When a character in a fairy tale (that most ancient form of wisdom) dies, it symbolizes that the lessons that character represented have been integrated. Being able to share this series marks the final integration of the insight her story has taught me. I hope you will be present.
A solo show, acting as Prologue + Epilogue to the Lady of Shalott, will open with Galerie P in July. This summer I will be showing more work at one time than any previous moment of my life, so it is a perfect excuse to come enjoy the Flemish Countryside in Summer. Excited to see you there!
To close out, a reminder of the following!
You can study with me: I am available for creative consultations to aid you on your own projects via zoom or in person in the Studio. If you are curious to study with me or want to be informed especially for class and workshop opportunities, please feel free to reach out directly for more info.
If you are interested to invest in my work and add a piece to your collection, there is a selection of available pieces online via artsy, and you can always request a show catalog from each show once they open.
A closing thank you to all of my subscribers, especially the ones who are paid subscribers! This newsletter will always be free, but your support makes a difference. Thank you
Wishing you all warmth, courage, clarity, and lots of love
