My primary interest is in abstract art and I use a variety of techniques in painting, printmaking and sculpture and all kinds of material, including recycled ones, in order to convey my ideas. I explore how the intersection of different planes and line shapes can create illusions within distorted shapes, objects, letters, and words.

Jazz vocalist Christiana Drapkin has been performing on the East Coast for thirty years. Now living in Rockville, MD since moving to the area from Brooklyn, NY in 2008, she’s established some fine collaborations with the excellent local musicians in our DC Metro area.
