       This exhibition features 15 photographs spanning multiple bodies of work and scales. The three primary images (15” × 15”) focus on orchids, continuing an ongoing exploration of form, intimacy and stillness. The remaining eleven to twelve smaller works (7” × 7”) are intentionally varied in subject matter, reflecting a more spontaneous and eclectic visual rhythm.

      These smaller works include additional orchid studies, portraits, landscapes, and selections from a whimsical series. Notable pieces include Coffee at the Colony and Johnny Rocket, photographs of the iconic Art Deco Colony Hotel in Miami Beach and Robert Johnson Memorial, documenting the monument to the legendary Mississippi Delta blues musician. The whimsical works draw from vintage Brown & Bigelow pin-up calendar imagery from the 1930s through the 1970s, recontextualized through a contemporary photographic lens.

      Together, the exhibit moves between the contemplative and the playful, inviting viewers to engage with light, form, memory, and visual storytelling in both expected and unexpected ways.
