ArtShare LA Shares A Common Thread
I am honored be a part of ArtShare LA’s exhibition, “A COMMON THREAD“, a 13-woman exhibition featuring fiber-based and textile works of art exploring autobiography and social critique, connection and displacement interlinked through themes of history and memory.
The show was curated by ArtShare LA Executive Director Beth Stryker and Visual Arts manager Baha H Danesh.
Each artist’s works are exhibited together, creating specific artistic spaces for visitors to peruse.
I am thrilled to have four works in the show.

EXHIBITIONISTA: FANTASTIC FIBERS 2023 at the YEISER
I am thrilled to participate for the third time in: FANTASTIC FIBERS 2023 at the YEISER ART CENTER.
“FANTASTIC FIBERS is an international juried exhibition that seeks to showcase a wide range of outstanding works related to the fiber medium.
One of Yeiser Art Center’s most engaging, innovative & colorful international exhibits, Fantastic Fibers is an inspirational must-see for fine artists, quilters and textile art enthusiasts across the globe.
Contemporary and innovative works created with fiber as the primary medium or concept are welcome. This exhibition is open to all artists 18 years and over working in the field of fiber art.
The show began in 1987 as a wearable art show but has evolved over the years to include a compelling mix of traditional and non-traditional works created from natural or synthetic fibers, and work that addresses the subject or medium of fiber.”
