Opening Night
December 3, 5 to 8:30pm

Every December I turn StudioLab RD into a holiday show of small, original work by women artists I admire. This is the fifth year of She Glows, and the idea hasn’t changed: make it easy to give someone art for the holidays, and to keep a piece or two for yourself. Most of the work is $500 and under.

Opening night is Thursday, December 3, from 5 to 8:30. Come shop, meet the artists, and stay a while. As a bonus, Addison/Ripley Fine Art, just upstairs, will open its doors that night for a first look at my new collection of sculpted canvas works, Uncontained, ahead of its official opening on Friday, December 4.

Can’t make opening night? The show is on view Tuesday through Saturday, 11 to 4, through [CLOSING DATE].

Heather Jones is a DC abstract painter whose work grows out of intuitive play with acrylic and hard-edged shapes, using color and form to give emotions a physical shape on canvas. Her solo shows have been covered by Washington City Paper and The Washington Post.

Alexandra Squire pairs vibrant color with muted tones in layered abstract paintings that are simple at first glance and more complex the longer you look. Her work is in private and corporate collections across the U.S.

Taylor Sizemore is a painter and arts educator in the DMV whose still lifes turn flowers, food and everyday objects into emblems of memory and desire. She holds an MFA from American University, and her work is in collections in the U.S., Berlin and Japan.

Robin Davisson is an abstract painter and former biomedical scientist who runs StudioLab RD, her working studio and gallery in Georgetown.
