EXHIBITIONISTA: “Paper + Fiber” at 1202 Contemporary
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.
EXHIBITIONISTA: “REWRITING HER STORY” at the Hera Gallery
"Writer Elizabeth Lesser asks “What story would Eve have told about picking the apple? Why is Pandora blamed for opening the box? And what about the fate of Cassandra who was blessed with knowing the future but cursed so that no one believed her?”
Flipping through the pages of your high school history textbook, how many stories are written about women as monumental protagonists? When was the last time you watched a movie that passed the Bechdel test? When was the last time there were more women than men on the Supreme Court voting on the right to our bodies?
As brands of “faux” feminism partnered with consumerist culture push out media representing women’s liberation through a patriarchal gaze, how can we reclaim the visual language to share more authentic stories? How can our art share the stories of women, trans women, and non-binary folks written out of the history books? How does your work give voice to the overlooked and underrepresented?
Hera Gallery presents 52 works that rewrite this cultural consciousness for a more inclusive human history."
EXHIBITIONISTA: “DWELLINGS: An Exhibition of Inhabited Spaces” at ARTLINK
I am thrilled to participate in the exhibition: "DWELLINGS: An Exhibition of Inhabited Spaces" at ARTLINK
"For the exhibition DWELLINGS, juried by Steve Garst, Artlink invited artists to submit works of any media that involve homes, shelters, forts, nests, burrows, or any other forms of inhabited space used by humans or non-humans. Where a creature lays its head can be a place of refuge, sustenance, and identity. They are cauldrons of growth, filled with love, hurt, anger, learning, and memory. Often, homes are constructed and, in turn, end up constructing the lives of those who dwell within them, for better or worse. Artlink is excited to offer an exhibition exploring the variety of human and non-human places that serve as home, in all its numerous manifestations."

EXHIBTIONISTA: “Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover” at the the Cultural Center of Cape Cod
"Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover", an evocative visual art exhibition designed to challenge our perceptions and invite us to look beyond the superficial. This engaging showcase, presented at the Cultural Center, features a variety of artists who use unexpected materials, surprising forms, and innovative techniques to question the initial impressions and judgments we often make.

By juxtaposing the seen with the unseen, this exhibition encourages viewers to reconsider how they interpret not only art but each other in everyday life. Join us from February 3 – March 1, 2025, for a transformative journey that redefines what it means to truly 'see.'

EXHIBTIONISTA: “PENDULUM” at A.D. Gallery
"Gains/losses, highs/lows, submerge/emerge……our human experience swings on a pendulum. While we all aim for homeostasis, the moments the pendulum swings are often when we feel the most alive, when we are called to act or react. In the past 20 years, we have faced major political, social, environmental, and personal shifts. These shifts have presented us with obstacles, challenges as well as moments for reinvention and emergence. This call looks for art that visualizes a swing in the pendulum, a life altering moment, a shift in the trajectory."

EXHIBITIONISTA: “PAPER” Presented by SITE: BROOKLYN
“Paper” is presented online by Site: Brooklyn
and runs:
February 13, 2025 - March 13, 2025
"The 20th century marked the peak, and subsequent decline, of paper’s dominance over everyday life. “Paperwork” is still a near-universal experience, but like everything else, has taken a more-and-more virtual form. Paper, unlike most artistic mediums, is a substrate first and artistic medium second. Created from textile waste, paper is woven very deeply into the fabric of modern life. It can be equally associated with the transformation of work, easy replication, industriousness, disposability, creativity, and experimentation. Since its invention, these qualities have encouraged artists to prepare, design, and experiment on paper. Ironically, it was in the later part of the 20th century when artists like Dorothea Rockburne. Ed Ruscha, and Robert Rauschenberg took the investigations of the Cubists into papier collé and developed paper as both a physical object, and a subject. Site:Brooklyn is looking for works that continue and expand this tradition."
