Salon du Cal in review by the Luxembourger Wort, Paperjam and RTL.lu news.
Salon du Cal
I am excited to be participating in this year’s Salon du Cal exhibition alongside a great selection of artists as part of Luxembourg Art Week.
"A jury has selected 46 participants, including a growing number of young artists, since 10 artists are under 35 and a dozen artists are exhibiting for the first time in our show." Each selected artist, established or emerging, has the opportunity to present three works, all of which are for sale.

Inktober
This year I was challenged to participate in Inktober. Below are my drawing responses to this year’s daily prompts.
Mixed Media Atelier
Please join me on Wednesday evenings in Mersch from 7-9 pm for art workshops centered on experimenting with different media. It is a great opportunity to get to know newly arriving people here in Luxembourg and connect through exploring your own creativity! All ages and levels are encouraged to participate.
Remnants Dipped in Bleu
Installation view
I am excited to announce my first exhibition in Luxembourg at the lovely Bloom Cafe. Please join me for the vernissage on Thursday, April 11th from 6-8 pm for canapés & crément.
Remnants Dipped in Bleu, is a new series of collage based work created in 2019. New to life in Luxembourg, I’ve becomes familiar with new environments through discovering and investigating found objects. As a collector of sorts, I am using salvaged materials such as torn advertisements from both faraway and nearby places of Tel Aviv and Paris to arrange visual stories embedded with histories of site specific locations.

The exhibition will be on view through the end of June.
A Series of Somethings
New to expat living and life in Europe, a friend encouraged me to create a blog documenting my often humiliating yet humorous experiences. In an effort to do just that I created, Collector of Sorts. I have always referred to myself as a “collector of sorts;” discovering and investigating is how I become familiar with new environments. So I decided to begin here, with the idea and concept of what it means to collect.
Merci Beaucoup
Visual artist Elizabeth Arzani's show, Merci Beaucoup, is her final show before moving abroad. Arzani's sculptural mixed media pieces are assemblages of found objects that often recontextualize the meaning we give to everyday objects. Check out her past work here, and you'll definitely want to stop by and see these pieces in person!
Things Organized Neatly
After traveling to Hawaii and collecting plastic found along the beaches, I have started to pay more attention to the plastic that I see on an everyday basis. The plastic that is left on my street, thrown into my bushes, flattened by cars, nestled in gutters, the plastic I purchase and the plastic that I use.
1 Room
Immerse yourself in a grand display of art shown in a spectacular place at the foot of the newly constructed Avalara Hawk Tower in Pioneer Square. Recalling the Salon des Refuses in style but not in the spirit of exclusion, the walls of the lofty storefront space are filled from floor to ceiling with a cornucopia of paintings and works on paper. The artwork of over forty established and emerging Pacific Northwest artists showcases an impressive variety of styles and mediums, offering a uniquely inclusive snapshot of the Seattle art scene.
Closing Reception : Behaving Differently
Behaving Differently compares gestures across media; marking the weight of a lineage of sentimental black matriarchs or the weight of emotional and conceptual processes beyond the technical. Each gesture interprets its surroundings, either by questioning the human connection to nature, intimate living spaces vs. public spaces or marked incidents that would otherwise risk being forgotten.
