In her self-titled solo exhibition on view at Terzo Piano, painter and D.C. native Rozeal (formerly known as Iona Rozeal Brown) draws inspiration from Japanese and African American culture for a series of fascinating works made more so by the array of unconventional materials—cardboard, silk, repurposed skateboards, Tyvek—that serve as her canvases; on view by appointment until February 14 at Terzo Piano, 1515 14th Street, NW.
