The exhibition, part of the Sitar Arts Center Gallery Series, is entitled “What Planet R U From?”, and features art works describing the artist’s creative journey with the analogy of interplanetary space travel.

“We are interested in encouraging students to develop and examine their own creative paths,” said the artist, “based on travel experiences both real and imaginary.”

Daniel Stuelpnagel is a multimedia artist based at LOAD OF FUN studios in Baltimore, Maryland, USA (www.loadoffun.net). He is a four-time participant in ArtOMatic (www.artomatic.org), and a winner of the Adams Morgan Festival jury award for Best Abstract Painting.
