Textile Slam! is an opportunity for friendly conversation and networking, featuring a rotating slate of presenters, each of whom  deliver an informal six-minute (or less!) slide show / improv / show-and-tell presentation. I was honored to present at this Slam!

Members, artists, designers, architects, educators, and all-around neat thinkers are invited to talk about their work, ideas that interest them, or projects they are exploring or have completed or would like help with.

The Slam! as a casual, community, conversation-oriented event.

This Slam! featured Lea Feinstein, Kathy Nida, and Debra Disman talking about current work, creating in a pandemic, thriving.

See the SLAM! and ENJOY!

An Open Book

By

When one book closes…another one opens…
or, something like that.

I was thrilled to be a part of the 2020 California Open Exhibition at TAG Gallery in LA.

“I like the ‘openness’ of the California Open concept,” said juror Kate Mothes, “so in my selections I tried to maintain a diversity of ideas and themes, and to the best of ability with the information at hand, include artists of diverse backgrounds. With this in mind, I also considered the craftsmanship of each work, and included a range of media types. It was a pleasure to review all of the submissions to this year’s open call, and I thank TAG Gallery for inviting me to participate as juror this year!”
