The Trio Philosophy in Terry Sand's Retrospective

Hosted at Art Bias • June 2026

As an art curator and founder of People Around Us, my goal is to professionally document and amplify the evolutionary journeys of creators. This retrospective exhibition captures the vibrant essence of Terry Sand’s multi-medium practice, organized through a unique Trio Philosophy that highlights the conversation between her sculptures, paintings, and performances. Through dedicated exhibition staging, publication, photography, videography, and exhibition review, I lift the weight of works for curation and digital storytelling from the artist, ensuring their creative legacy is deeply felt, beautifully preserved, and made accessible to all. Stay tuned for Terry's exhibition review, publishing next month on the People Around Us artist interview platform.

Painting Colorful Life After Cancer: A Journey of Resilience

Hosted at Art Bias • March 2026

This exhibition celebrates the first solo exhibition of artist Lina Gelfer, marking a deeply moving paintings: a showcase of over four years of prolific painting after her profound life challenge of surviving cancer.

Curated and hosted at Art Bias, the exhibition brings together a carefully selected collection of her multi-series paintings. Rather than focusing on hardship, Lina’s work is a triumphant celebration of resilience, capturing the pure essence of love, life, dance, and music through an explosion of rich, vibrant colors. Each canvas serves as a testament to the healing power of art and the beauty of reclaiming one's narrative.
