Starting in August 2023 I am going to be the Fellowship Award Artist at Black Rock Press in Reno, Nevada! I will be working with a department within the University to collaborate on a book publishing project over the next two years. |
I started a new job at Laney Community College in Spring of 2022. I am part time faculty in the Art Department and I am the lead Printmaking Faculty. I am excited about this new chapter teaching, and believe strongly in the accessible education that Laney provides. Click below to find out more about this amazing Community College!
I was asked to select an online exhibition for NIAD Art Center in Richmond, California - and organization dedicated to working with artists with disabilities.
In Love., organized by Meg Pohlod (online exhibition)
Love is an intense feeling of deep affection. Love is a great pleasure or interest in something. Love is a deep affection for someone or something. Love is something you like or enjoy very much.
In this selection of works inspired by Martha Padron's ink on paper that reads "Love is charming," I chose pieces that showed connection, embrace, touch, as well as vessels that can hold. Literal knots in weavings, clay and glaze, pencil on pencil, and images of togetherness embrace a deep want for connection. I hope these works give the viewer a pause to connect with what they are seeing.

I am the new Artist Residency Manager and Adult Classes Coordinator at Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, California! This is an exciting step at an institute I have admired for many years. Starting September, 2018.
I am so fortunate to know people working with amazing organizations. A life-long friend has allowed me to come in and teach art once a week at the Institute on Aging here in San Francisco. The link below is a way to donate to their fantastic program that allows quality of life to continue...please click on it to read more!
I recently started volunteering at NIAD Art Centre. Link underneath to donate, browse, purchase, or volunteer if you are in the Bay Area!
In America, less than a quarter of adults with disabilities are employed. And most of them are stuffing envelopes, pushing brooms or cutting grass. Many are making a minimum or sub-minimum wage.
At NIAD Art Center we do a lot for adults with disabilities. And there is nothing redundant or menial around here.
Although we sell a lot of art (last year, we sold 1,400+ works), arts sales are only a small part of our income. To keep our doors open, the lights on, and the paint in our artists’ pots, we depend on support from people like you. Your money helps an adult with a disability participate in a productive way in the larger world.
Please, give what you can and know we will appreciate whatever amount you can afford. Thanks, in advance!
