I’ve been yearning to show at Art Dubai but haven’t quite made it there – yet. My father lived in Bahrain as a teen and having grown up around Middle Eastern art, stories and imagery from my father and grandparents – well, a seed was planted. So, imagine the thrill when I was invited last February to show my encaustic paintings in Dubai at a conference. I can’t tell you much more about the conference but I promise to share more in the future.

The pieces shown were Seed Pod VIII (left) and Seed Pod IX (below). Seed Pod VIII is 6″x6″ and Seed Pod IX is a 12″x12″ diptych. Both pieces are available at DragonFire Studio & Gallery.
