I was one of six women artists in

ARIES RISING
Curated by Virginia Arce

March 11–May 20, 2023
Irvine Fine Arts Center Main Gallery + Gallery 2

“Rooted in the generative characteristics of spring, Aries Rising presents a collection of sculptural and two-dimensional artworks made of metal, fiber, and mixed media whose sensibilities reflect an organic source. Featured artists in the exhibition share a curiosity about human perception as it relates to the environment, both natural and manmade, reflected in their manipulation of material and form.”

Artists featured:
Renée Azenaro, Debra Disman, Mirena Kim, Sofia V. Gonzales, Zara Kuredjian, and
Susan Lizotte.

Join us to Make Books at the Canoga Park Branch Library!

Join us to create a beautiful and fun holiday book based on the closed spine accordion structure!

Learn the accordion fold, add covers and “close” the spine so that the book can both open in pages, or extend into a sculptural form.

This workshop is part of my Artist residency: “We Write the Book”, held at the Canoga Park Branch Library, supported by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs!

Flag Bookmaking Workshop at ArtShare LA!

Join us at 11AM on Saturday December 9th and learn to create the fun and fabulous “flag book” with artist Debra Disman while being inspired by the “Paper Route” exhibition at ArtShare LA. Learn the accordion fold, add book covers and alternating flag pages, and play with “found writing” to create a kinetic book that can be opened and used in multiple ways.

Frida Kahlo Inspires Self-Portraits!

By

Through my “Making Art Inspired By Great Artists “CREST” after school art class first through third graders learned about Great Artist Frida Kahlo, and her self-portraits, then a step-by-step methodology of how to draw a face.

Finally they added color, and fanciful frames around their creations, using markers and jewel stickers, just as the Frida Kahlo portrait below was framed by flowers painted on the glass which protects it, by Mexican craftspeople.
