On July 4th, CNN’s website featured photographs of drawings done by several ten-year-old migrant children who had been separated from their parents by US Customs and Border Protection. After their release from CBP, the Catholic Charities Humanitarian Respite Center,...
Eileen Cowin's solo exhibition at As Is comprises eight photographic works chosen from two series, "Mad Love," and "Kafka's Diary." Each of Cowin's pictures cleverly pairs two disparate photos whose strange vertical abutment evokes emotion and suggests open-ended...

Yes, it was a holiday weekend, but the art flag still waved after the fireworks and BBQ subsided. On Saturday at the Alfa Romeo Tango Gallery aboard the battleship U.S.S. Iowa in San Pedro – a perfect patriotic location for the holiday – Kio Griffith’s CORAL SEA, The...
Hanna Hur believes in art's power to generate supernatural experiences. By repetitively drawing geometric forms and fashioning chain mail sculptures link by link, she places herself in meditative states of mind receptive to subconscious thoughts; the resulting...

In a short drive into the countryside of Maryland, about half an hour outside Washington, DC, is an exceptional private museum sited on 230 rolling acres, with buildings and outdoor sculpture thoughtfully tucked into the landscape. The Glenstone is the brainchild of...
