Hands Talk was first exhibited at Sawyer Yards in Houston, TX, December, 2025, then at Arts Council of Princeton January, 2026, and the new expanded version will be on exhibit at Artworks Trenton in November, 2026.
Hands are powerful communicators. Hands Talk is a mixed media exhibition—created with paper and acrylic on stretched canvas—that explores how hands express, connect, and convey meaning. From sign language to symbolic gesture, hands speak volumes. Hands in handcuffs point to both the literal and symbolic restriction of freedom. The racially diverse hands throughout the work highlight the beauty diversity brings to our world, as well as the complexity it adds to communication and connection.
Created during a time when the rights and freedoms of many are being limited, this exhibition seeks to raise awareness, inspire dialogue, and encourage positive, multicultural engagement. It is also a reminder of the strength, grace, and power held in our own hands.
