Bearing Witness
January 2, 2024
I am honored to have work juried into a global exhibit, 'Bearing Witness', which will travel for three years. The title is Traditions Transposed, and the work tells the story of a Rwandan child who has a colorful, happy childhood until the deadly arrival of warriors with machetes and clubs, and then the harrowing escape and search for a place of refuge.

As part of my final project for my master's degree in painting, I requested handmade art postcards on the topics of the war in Ukraine or gun violence in the US. Well over one hundred art postcards were received from artists in ten different countries. They are being assembled now, and the next step is to seek venues where they can be exhibited. Below are three groupings of the gun violence postcards.
Thank you so much if you contributed!!!

Midpoint of M.F.A. program

Earlier this week, I took 25 art pieces to the Art Center of Citrus County and hung them in order to make a video for my 45 hour review for the MFA program I'm in. (Savannah College of Art and Design.) It was challenging to hang the work, hold the phone, read the script, and not get too emotional when showing my gun violence and Ukraine work.
Then my daughter and I spent several hours editing the six short videos into one long one for my presentation before the panel which happens this morning. I feel like I'll be defending a dissertation, and will be glad when it is behind me!
UPDATE: I PASSED THE REVIEW!!! Hooray! Now I can breathe again. It was an excellent opportunity to receive feedback on my work from three brilliant professors. I took three pages of notes!!
