Within Reach –
Opening at Alexander Heath Contemporary
I’m thrilled to invite you to the opening of my solo exhibition, Within Reach, at Alexander Heath Contemporary in Roanoke, Virginia.
🗓
Opening Reception: Friday, September 5, 2025 5 - 9 pm
📍
Alexander Heath Contemporary, Roanoke, VA
Within Reach is a tactile exploration of healing, possibility, and our shared capacity to imagine a better world. Through embroidered paintings and sculptural forms on felt, paper, and textiles, the work connects the chakra system to the expressive language of hands. Each piece suggests that renewal, connection, and transformation are not distant ideals — they are within our reach.
The exhibition is both a meditation on healing and an investigation into our current society — asking us to consider how we live, connect, and create in a world where our time is fleeting. The work acknowledges that we are here for only a limited time, yet within that span lies the opportunity for joy, creativity, and meaningful change.
I would be honored to share this work with you at the opening and hope you’ll join me for this special evening.

Pleased to be showing work in a collaborative exhibition between HollerHouse and William King Museum of Art, exploring the enduring spirit of Appalachia through the lenses of music, folklore, iconography, dialect, and cultural memory.
