Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty

Ready for a little art treasure hunt?

One of my favorite annual art events is officially open, and this year I’m excited to share that four of my original pieces are part of Rochester Contemporary Art Center’s (RoCo) 6x6x2026 exhibition. Thousands of tiny artworks from around the world are now available online and in person, and every piece is just $20.

There’s something especially fun about the 6x6 show because every artist creates anonymously. You browse based purely on what catches your eye, not the name attached to it. It turns collecting art into a treasure hunt, and once pieces are purchased, the artists are revealed.

If you’ve never explored 6x6 before, this is the perfect time. The online gallery makes it easy to scroll through an incredible variety of work from artists across the globe while supporting RoCo and the local arts community at the same time.

And yes… somewhere in the mix are my four mystery pieces waiting to be discovered.

Can you find my artwork at 6x6x2026?

Check out theVirtual Art Sale to support local art at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center and snag original artwork for only $20:
https://roco6x6.org/gallery/2026

Online sales are live now. You can purchase a Virtual Access Code for early access to the exhibition and the first opportunity to collect favorite pieces. General online purchasing opens to everyone on June 3.

Whether you’re a longtime collector or simply looking for a small piece that makes you smile, this show is packed with unexpected favorites. The best part is that every purchase directly supports the arts while giving you something truly original to bring home.

I’d love to hear if you spot one of mine before the reveal.
