“Grit” was an exhibition held in downtown Winston-Salem at Artworks Gallery in March, 2023.

The show was a combination of the work of two artists (myself along with photographer Julian Silverman) under a single theme, focusing on overlooked moments and objects found in urban landscapes. In addition, the gallery was be transformed into a setting that captured the frenetic nature of looking for beauty in unintended places, whether on the ground or in the sky.

In addition to the work itself, certain pieces had additional narration by the artists explaining the ideas and motivations behind their work as well as themed soundtracks so that visitors could have private audio experiences while enjoying the artwork.

Julian Silverman is a photographer from New York City who relocated to Winston-Salem for school in 2022. His work focuses on the unintended beauty and narratives coming though stolen moments in time.


“Mixed Results” was a solo exhibition held at Footnote Coffee and Cocktails in downtown Winston-Salem from January-March, 2023.
