Exhbitionista: “Telling Stories” with Shoebox Arts
I am thrilled to participate in:
“Telling Stories”
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2022 3-5pm PST: Zoom Opening Reception and artist talks
Presented by Shoebox Projects
Curated by Michelle Robinson, Artist and Curator
“Art and craft are means to tell stories visually. Through mythology, fairy tales, cultural commentary, dream imagery, family history, and personal narrative, art has sought to examine the challenges and mysteries of how we live; to interpret and understand our world and share those thoughts with others. This exhibition showcases how artists are telling stories now, from abstract and non-linear to representational and narratives” at Shoebox Projects“
See the show and hear the Artists Talk HERE!
I am showing: Chromatic Interactions: The Golden Thread, 2020, 76 x 90 x 1.5″, mixed media installation utilizing file cards written and drawn upon by Craft Contemporary Museum patrons participating in my commissioned interactive artists’ book project: Chromatic Interactions

Sharing the words of Juri Koll
I am honored to share the words of the artist, curator, filmmaker and fonder/director of Venice Institute of Contemporary Art, Juri Koll:
Thank you Juri, for your time, your care, and your comprehension of my work.
It means a great deal.
Worth “A Thousand Words”
It was a pleasure to participate in Core New Art Space‘s exhibition:
Juror, Richard Chamberlain, pursues several lines of work in visual and performing arts and is a published poet as well. He was looking for: “….works that tell a story. Realistically, abstractly or expressionistically inspired by literature and legends, poetry and parables, novels and narratives, myths and metaphors, artworks have their own fictions, fables, folklore or fairytales. Artworks can be worth a thousand words. The exhibited works were judged on overall impact, content, composition and mastery of techniques, as well as attention to creativity and craftsmanship.”
Below are images of the show, including my work, “Window Treatment“, a sculptural artists’ book,
perhaps evoking the film, “Rear Window”.
What stories go on behind these windows?!
