Romania's capital city, Bucharest, displays an elegant past that, after 40 years of communism and corruption, is now reaching levels of decay that may defy renovation. Over the past ten years, I have tried to create a parallel between the image of Princess Brianna Caradja, whose aristocratic family was driven out of Romania by politics, and of the capital city that is crumbling both physically and socially. With my journalistic background, I attempt to mirror the forgotten, ignored grandeur of both the physical and social institutions of my homeland.

Current and Recent Exhibitions
Immobile at George Bush Intercontinental Airport
I am delighted to share that Immobile, a photograph from my In Motion series inspired by the architecture and energy of downtown Houston, has been selected for a year-long group exhibition at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), on view in Terminal A.
It is a particular honor to have my work presented in a place that has become an important part of Houston’s cultural landscape. The Houston Airports Public Art Program is home to one of the largest civic art collections in the aviation industry, with nearly 450 works by local, national, and international artists. Its commitment to bringing art into the everyday experience of millions of travelers has earned Houston Airports international recognition as the World’s Best Airport Art Program by Skytrax.
As a Houston-based artist, I am especially proud to have Immobile exhibited in this extraordinary setting—a place where Houston meets the world, and where art has become an integral part of that encounter. View the whole series HERE.
Silver Street Studios - Salon Show | Through September 2026
My wall for the current Salon Show at Silver Street Studios is all about celebrating joy, color, and culture.
Rather than focusing on a single series, I curated an eclectic collection of small and medium sized works that reflect the variety of my artistic practice. From vibrant abstracts and mixed media pieces to photography inspired works, each piece offers its own story while coming together in a colorful and uplifting display.
The exhibition is on view through the end of September.
Visit Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
📍 Silver Street Studios

I would love to hear which piece speaks to you the most.
The Houston Club | Through September 2026
As the featured summer exhibition at The Houston Club in downtown Houston, The Spirit of Houston transformed the Club's galleries with a collection honoring the city selected to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Set against spectacular skyline views, the exhibition celebrated Houston's vibrant character through bold graphic compositions inspired by its neighborhoods, culture, and iconic landmarks. The exhibition remained on view through September, welcoming members and guests to discover a contemporary artistic tribute to the city.
Helix Park Medical Center | June 15 to July 30, 2026
The series continued at Helix Park in the Texas Medical Center, where The Spirit of Houston brought color and optimism to one of the world's leading healthcare and innovation campuses. The exhibition explored the city's diversity, architecture, and unmistakable spirit, offering patients, visitors, and professionals an uplifting visual experience that reflected Houston's creativity and global identity during the excitement of the 2026 World Cup.
Mercato & Co. | June 1 to June 30, 2026
The Spirit of Houston was presented throughout Mercato & Co., an elegant fine dining destination in Houston's West University neighborhood. Inspired by the 2026 FIFA World Cup and Houston's role as one of the host cities, the exhibition celebrated the city's culture, landmarks, and energy through a vibrant series of contemporary art posters. Displayed within the restaurant's refined interior, the collection invited guests to experience Houston through a fresh artistic perspective while enjoying one of the city's premier dining destinations.
