Book as Art
Our kick-off “We Write the Book” workshop at the Northridge Library!
I was delighted to “kick-off” my “We Write The Book” Neighborhood Engagement Artist Residency (NEAR)artist residency at the Northridge Public Library supported by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs .
I am honored to be serving the City of Los Angeles again through the DCA.

Our first workshop, or program, in Library parlance, was an accodion-fold book with pockets. Families, Parents, Adults, Children, Community Members all joined us to learn, create and share together.
A wonderful time was had by ALL.



I will be an artist-in-residence at the Northridge Branch Library, conducting bookmaking workshops and events for the local community and library patronage from February through May, 2025, on selected Wednesday afternoons, 3:30-5:00PM, and Saturday mornings 11:00am – 12:30PM.

Deep Dive into “DWELLINGS” at Artlink
I am thrilled to be part of a beautiful and timely show, “DWELLINGS” at Artlink, housed in the Auer Center for Arts and Culture in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Learn about and view the show HERE!
I love participating in shows all over the country, and see the extraordinary talent, diversity of media, level of skill and and passion for expression manifesting itself across the United States at all times. This helps me to feel connection, hope and the sense of belonging to a creative force working to resist cruelty, negativity, smallness and isolationism. Brava to the brave and resilient gallerists, curators, organizations, funders, institutions and artists working tirelessly to support the growth of the human spirit into its most elevated aspirations.
“For the exhibition DWELLINGS, juried 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.”
My artists’ book “Window Treatment” is in the show and I am proud to be in such good company.
