Take a Seat for Alexandria

Me @ the Beatley Library, Alexandria, VA

Found some glitter stickers…

My entry for “Take a Seat for Alexandria” is finally complete! An upcycled chair was covered with… upcycled greeting cards.

I had tons of greeting cards in my storage piling up, so I cut them into squares/rectangles to create several mosaics.

The theme was “America 250.” This isn’t my first time creating an America-centric art project (see my American Soul painting).

This project took over a month to complete over approximately… 30ish hours? In 1-4 hour increments, of course!

I was so relieved to finally complete it. Am so proud!

What’s an American project without fireworks?

The Cherry Blossoms in a tree hanging over the Tidal Basin.

The Cherry Blossoms. Perfect for the touristy-est time of year for Washingtonians!

Cut out the 250 using more greeting card fragments!

The American Flag. I painted rainbow star stickers using gesso to make them white.

Art League 2026 Student/Faculty Show

Hello, all! I’ve finally made a comeback and had my drawing, “Bottles" in an art show; my first one in two years. I did in my class, “Drawing into Painting” at the Art League School here in Alexandria, Virginia.

Next up will be “Take a Seat for Alexandria” in the coming month. Now to finish decorating my chair…
