Ordinary Objects — Liz Lidgett Gallery, Des Moines, Iowa | March 21, 2025

Ordinary Objects was a group exhibition at Liz Lidgett Gallery in Des Moines, Iowa, celebrating the beauty and meaning found in everyday items. My contributions to the show were a series of oil paintings that transformed familiar objects into vibrant, contemplative compositions. By focusing on domestic forms and humble materials, I explored how the ordinary can feel extraordinary when viewed through the lens of sentimentality, memory, and play. This exhibition reflected my ongoing interest in object-based painting and contemporary still life, drawing collectors and curators into a colorful world of layered meaning and emotional resonance.
