Walker Fine Art is excited to announce PERFECTLY LOST, an exhibition that beckons us back to our innate curiosity – a call to explore freely and rediscover wonder in the everyday.
Through installation, painting, and mixed media, six artists reflect on how our environment can gently shape us, offering a space for healing, inspiration and transformation.
Rooted in the richness of the natural world and guided by a deep sensitivity of color and material, their work evokes moments suspended beyond and time and place - inviting us to slow down and simply be.
We invite you to join us for an Opening Reception on November 14, from 5-8PM.
For more information, please find the full Press Release linked below.
I am really looking forward to participating in an artist's panel discussion at the Karl SF on Saturday, October 11 at 1pm!
Moderated by the amazing Ariel Zaccheo, Curatorial Director of the Museum of Craft and Design, it promises to be amazing.
I look forward to hearing from my fellow artists Tana Quincy Arcega and Greg Climer whose work I have admired for some time.
All are welcome. We hope to see you there!

I’m excited to share that Full Circle, my second solo exhibition at SLATE Contemporary Gallery in Oakland, will open September 5th. The exhibition serves as a mid-career survey exhibition, bringing together different bodies of work that all explore the process of healing through a spiritual lens. I am incredibly grateful to the team at SLATE who have helped organize not only the on-site exhibition, but a rich calendar of programming (listed below), the launch of a new book, and additional installations that will be on view in San Francisco for the month of October.
To accompany the exhibition, a new book has been published titled Mending Body, Mending Mind. This new publication features essays by Elizabeth Wiet and Mira Dayal, as well as poems by Aya Karpińska. It is such an honor to offer their reflections on this work as part of the exhibition, and I look forward to attending the book launch in the gallery (see event details below).
Two related pieces, Deconstructed Quilt 2 and Body of Light, will also be installed for the month of October at Karl: The Art of Fashion, in San Francisco (see below for more info). This group exhibition invites viewers to consider the aesthetic and political power embedded in the textile tradition. It will feature artists who harness the language of material to challenge hierarchies of art and craft, exploring identity, labor, and the gendered histories of making as a means of inviting viewers to consider the aesthetic and political power embedded in the textile tradition.

Here is an excerpt from the press release describing my work and that of fellow artist and kindred spirit Lisa Kairos. You can read the full press release which provides a wonderful overview of the show by visiting the link below.
"The tension between nature and technology, or between chaos and control, also comes through in the art of Lisa Kairos and Holly Wong, both of whose work explodes in all directions while at the same time drawing us into a series of highly detailed and purposeful marks made by drawing. Wong’s works stand out from the others in the show with their complexity of mediums, as the artist uses a combination of gouache, graphite, colored pencil, ink, candle smoke, and collaged drafting film in each piece."
