'Sacred Roots: The Art of the Living Earth'
Presented by Cottonwood Center for the Arts at Cottonwood Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
From the Artist: In Sacred Roots, the symbiotic relationship between ancient heritage and the natural environment takes center stage. Drawing from centuries-old Indian art forms, this solo exhibition celebrates nature not as a backdrop, but as a primary protagonist. From the regal display of stylized peacocks to the fluid movements of aquatic life, each work serves as a testament to the belief that every living being carries an essential story. By bringing these earth-based traditions to a modern audience, the collection highlights a global yearning for harmony with our surroundings. The exhibition is a rhythmic dance of pattern and pigment, offering a meditative space where viewers can reconnect with the "Tree of Life" and the vibrant spirits of the animal kingdom. Through intricate linework and intentional geometry, these pieces translate the pulse of the natural world into a sophisticated, contemporary visual language.

'Step, Repeat'
Presented by Cottonwood Center for the Arts at Cottonwood Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
Pattern—an artistic, musical, literary, or mechanical repeating design or form—has been employed as an embellishment throughout the history of civilization, but it has achieved its own power and meaning in modern and postmodern art. No longer dismissed as ornament or ‘women’s work’, pattern can be abstracted, magnified, made into subject, or it can make a subversive statement in the hands of a contemporary artist. This call invited artists to submit works that use a repeated pattern as an intentional, essential element. All mediums were considered, previously exhibited works were not be accepted.
