I am excited to be able to show—in one place— most of the art I have created since moving out west at the Santa Fe Studio Tour. I will be joining 3 other artists presenting our work in a gallery setting during the last two weekends in June.

Pictured above are details of my latest series: Time Warped Welcome: 5 pieces featuring characters from the past each standing at the distinctive—time warped— adobe wall gates so ubiquitous throughout Santa Fe.

These—along with 11 more of my New Mexico-inspired “photo renderings”— will be on exhibit at Studio 20, 1219 Luisa Street, Santa Fe, NM. on the weekends of June 20-21 and June 27-28!

I am joining four other artists in a group show entitled “For the Beauty of the Earth”—an exhibit created to coincide with the Earth Day celebration. A Reception for the Artists will take place on May 3rd at 12:30pm.

I am debuting one brand new series—On Flights of Color—created by digitally montaging my photographs of specimens of butterflies and moths paired with Santa Fe scenery and graphical elements moving through the color spectrum.

Shown congruently is my 2012 series Galapagos Duos inspired by my travels to the Galapagos islands in that same year.

Three of my most recent “Santa Fe-Inspired” works are included in a group show, “Color & Light” at Gallery35 in New York City. The exhibit opened on February 21st and will be on view thru March 21st. A closing reception is planned for March 21st from 6-8pm.

Earlier this year, I was honored to have two pieces—Social Butterfly and Shark Alert— included in the Long Island City Artists group show at the Atlantic Gallery in the Chelsea section of New York City. To see these and related works, go to my Fine Art section and click on Balloon Fiesta!

Visit the Closing Reception of Emerging Visions: Art Showcase 2013 at Gallery35, 30 E 35th St, Manhattan on June 22 from 6-8pm. I am exhibiting three new works—Painting the Passage, Lion-Pecked  and Clinging Vine—in a group show with 13 other artists.

Hang Up—featuring those ubiquitous Venetian clotheslines — is currently on exhibition at Claret’s Wine Bar, Skillman Ave & 46th Street in Sunnyside, NY.

In addition to these shows, I was fortunate to participate in the well-supported Art Fair VI as a member of SunnysideArtists.org. Prints and cards of my work—especially those depicting iconic images of this Queens community—were big hits!

Twenty-three new works exhibited in Asman’s Solo Show, “Pixels on Paper” can now be viewed as three new series on the Gallery page: Location…Location, What in the World? and What’s Up?

Enjoy them once again—or for the first time if you missed the show last March-May.

All arwork shown on the Gallery page is available as prints in various sizes and as blank 5×7 greeting cards.

Virginia Asman will debut her solo show Pixels on Paper with an opening reception on March 9th from 5-8 pm at Gallery35, 30 E 35th St (between Park & Madison Aves), New York City.

All digitally created, most of the art has never before been exhibited nor does it yet appear on this website. The show includes three new series from manipulated and composited photographs – “Location, Location,”  “What In The World?” and “What’s Up?” –  inspired by her recent international travels. Completing the show is a set of theater and concert posters showcasing Asman’s graphic design work.
