'Dance-Pop' Series Debuts in NYC!

ArtExpo 2024 marked the first time showing of my art in NYC and the debut of Dance Pop — a series of party-vibe abstracts that jump off the dance club floor and onto the wall. My work was part of the AGI Fine Art exhibit at ArtExpo, and subsequently featured in the Summer City Idyll at AGI's associated NYC gallery, Agora Gallery.

Based on my love of dance-pop music, this series of paintings expresses the infectious beat of music centered on love, encouragement, and dancing the night away. Think disco, think trippy lights and high energy. The color spectrum is a nod to the positive, inclusive atmosphere of the disco phenomenon that started in the 70s, which allowed people from all walks of life, especially those in marginalized communities, to safely come together and dance. Titles reference both new and nostalgic inspirations from my dance-pop playlist.
