2020
I have been juried by photographer and arts administrator Alison Erazmus into Webster Arts’ Relationships national exhibition! Of 586 submissions, 64 works were selected and my mixed media painting Littoral Layers is one of those 64.
The show will open with a Facebook Live event on November 17, 2020, at 7 pm CST. Additionally, all exhibition pieces will be available on their website http://webster-arts.org under the Exhibits tab.
I’m opening up the school year with a solo faculty exhibition, Contact, at Morningside College’s Eppley Art Gallery! If you’re in Sioux City and can safely visit, check out my poster below for all the pertinent details. I’ll show some gallery images later on for those of you who are further afield or unable to attend.
Here in the US, there have been massive protests against racism and police brutality; these have spawned global support and protests in cities around the world. I support the Black Lives Matter movement. Earlier this week I donated to the American Civil Liberties Union (more commonly referred to by its abbreviation ACLU) to support their work in suing the government and police on behalf of protesters and victims of police brutality and injustice. We need substantive reform.
Here’s a link to the ACLU donation page if you also feel called to support them!
I was selected as one of three Mary Blair Award for Art Finalists for this year’s Reed Magazine competition, which had a record-breaking number of applications! My work and a short artist profile will be published in Reed Magazine’s upcoming Issue 153. This well-known annual publication is “the oldest literary journal based west of the Mississippi!”
I look forward to learning who the ultimate winner of the award was and seeing my work in print!
