On Monday, March 30, 2026, Ocean participated in the Tashkent International School’s International Baccalaureate Visual Arts Exhibition. This is cool requirement of the IB. Not many people in their lives host an exhibition of their art works. I find it illuminating into the personalities and brains of the students. The arts are personal and human (in this age of AI) and it was delightful to admire the works and talk to the student-artists about the inspiration behind some of the pieces.


I would like to thank our Artist-in-Residence, the Dutch painter Ronald Kleijer. He is a celebrated and known artist here in Uzbekistan and it is great for our students to work with such a professional. Congratulations to Ocean, your mom and I love you and your amazing works of art!
