“The First Portrait of My Sister” oil on linen

I am pleased to have a work of mine included in the juried exhibition, Face to Face, at the Huntington Arts Council’s gallery in Huntington, NY. This exhibition, juried by Jeremy Dennis, focuses on portraiture in all media with an emphasis on relationships and how we communicate.

About the Juror: Jeremy Dennis is a contemporary fine art photographer and an enrolled Tribal Member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation in Southampton, NY. He was born in 1990 and is based on the Shinnecock Reservation. Dennis’s work explores Indigenous identity, culture, and history, as well as environmentalism and the supernatural. One of his notable projects is “Ma’s House,” a residency program and exhibit space for BIPOC artists on the Shinnecock Reservation. Jeremy says about Face to Face: “I was inspired by the diverse submissions showcasing a profound exploration of human expression and connection. My selection process prioritized authenticity, emotional resonance, and innovative perspectives, resulting in a collection that captures the depth and richness of the human experience through the lens of each artist’s unique vision.”

The Reception will be held on Friday, March 1, 2024, 5:00PM -8:00PM at Huntington Arts Council’s Main Street Gallery, 213 Main Street, Huntington NY 11743. The exhibition was on view February 13 - March 17, 2024.
