Hopes and Fears and…

By

From 2020 to the present moment.

I HOPE this is not forever, I FEAR it might be…but I HOPE not.
HOPE springs eternal, FEAR springs infernal.

when FACING DARKNESS

By

Face it, if at all possible, look “it” square in the proverbial eye/I, and take your reckoning. Be prepared, be intelligent, be on the ready.

Facing Darkness, (detail), 2020, 19 x 18 x .5″, canvas, acrylic paint, lace, zipper

Leave an opening, don’t zip yourself away. Stay open and fluid. And. Be prepared, be intelligent, be on the ready. Be open to creating silver linings.

White & Texture & Paper & Fiber

By

I am thrilled to be participating in two show on opposite coasts which aim to share artworks that center on some of my specific interest in artmaking.

“White & Texture” at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod:
“Subtitled Monochrome Unity, we invited artists to explore the profound subtleties and striking complexities of using white as the driving color and how texture within the white and informs the execution and the narrative of an artwork. We wanted them to explore the effect of this limitation – without a “conventional” color palette.”

“White Zip”

“Paper & Fiber: Fourth Annual Show” at 1202 Contemporary in Gilroy, California:
“1202 Contemporary proudly presents its 4th annual Paper + Fiber show, celebrating two mediums that women artists have traditionally used for centuries, but have always been considered “craft,” or less than fine art.  Uplifting and supporting artists who have worked in textile, fiber, and/or paper mediums, this exhibition centers and hones in on the theme of figure.”

“Into The Bush”

“Profusion”
