Artist Bio:
A Silver Spring, Maryland native, I graduated from University of Maryland, College Park in 2020, taking part in the Department of Art Honors Program in my senior year. I am currently working as a Teaching Artist, here at CREATE.
Artist Statement:
As a figurative artist, the driving force behind my work is an enduring interest in nature. Utilizing predominantly oil paint and drawing media, I depict organic forms to examine my connection to the world around us.
CREATE Art Center has operated in the Silver Spring community for over thirty-five years as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to spark creativity, foster learning, empower individuals, and facilitate community connections through the visual arts. Named after CREATE’s founder, the Tamar Hendel Gallery opened in 2019. It showcases local artists who work in a variety of media.
