Abstraction NOW!

I am very pleased that my painting Conglomerate is on display in Abstraction NOW! at GearBox Gallery in Oakland, CA, August 14 - September 13, 2025.

Conglomerate, 2023

GearBox Gallery proudly presents ABSTRACTION NOW!, our 11th Annual Juried Exhibition. Each year we invite a guest juror to select work from the greater Bay Area and beyond to show in this highly anticipated annual exhibition. This year’s exhibition focuses on the depiction of Abstraction in 2025, juried by SFMOMA Curatorial Assistant of painting and sculpture, Auriel Garza. 

The exhibition was open to Northern California Artists working in all mediums with work by thirty-seven artists selected for the in-person exhibition at GearBox Gallery. In addition to showing their work in Abstraction Now!, two artists will be awarded future exhibition opportunities at Gearbox Gallery. 

All are welcome to join us for the Artists’ Reception, Saturday, August 16th from 1-4pm. Greet the artists, check out the exhibition and enjoy the light refreshments, with free street parking nearby. 

Juror Auriel Garza will discuss her thoughts on the exhibition theme and the selection process on Saturday, September 6th, starting at 2 pm. Please join us, and bring your questions!
