10 years gone and feels like yesterday I was flying into #AbuDhabi sight unseen (though I'd been to Dubai); relocating to start a new job!
And, Eid Mubarak to those celebrating this weekend!

Just back from #Malta and #Carnival in #Valetta. I'm full on #colors, #costumes, #feathers, and #lights! Despite the chilly weather, I loved the smiles, energy, and photo ops.

Today I met inspiring people – plus saw some of my own artwork blown up into large format prints. If you're in the UAE, stroll through the RAK Art Festival through February 28 and the artwork will stay to March 31, 2025. Free tickets here: www.rakart.ae

Only a few days left to see my "Afterlife of Stones" series showing at the Design Gallery. I'm still honored to show in their first exhibition of 2025!
Stop by if you're in RAK, UAE until 30 January and grab a cup of coffee at the cafe, too!

"Afterlife of Stones" – Petra, Jordan | Pyramids of Meroë, Sudan | Hegra, Saudi Arabia – now on display at the Design Gallery in Ras Al Khaimah until 30 January.
These Nabatean and Nubian architects knew how to make a tombstone!

At dawn, the sun peeks past the lower left corner of one of the orange sandstone tombs at Hegra in Saudi Arabia. Just after sunset, the sky is lit up in a gradient of dark blue, punctuated with stars, one of the flat topped pyramids of Meroe stands in the foreground; the entrance is lit with a lantern. A peek-a-boo orange-hued view of the Treasury at Petra in Jordan from the Siq entrance to the ancient sight.
