2022 summer shows

The doors are closing on my artist residency at Graphite, but you haven’t seen the last of my work yet! Let’s start in Kent, Washington, where one of my collages has found a permanent home.

“The Ingratitude of the Girl” now belongs to the city of Kent! You might remember a few glimpses of this work from the Manticore and the Mermaid series, the trio of collages about Oney Judge’s escape from George Washington some 200 years ago. Now you can see it in full, in person, during the Kent Summer Art Exhibit. Visit the piece at the city’s Centennial Center Gallery until August 18th.

I’m also showing four pieces in north Seattle at the Ida Culver House. The CLUSTER show is made up of artworks from friends of mine, including installation artist June Sekiguchi and painter/ sculptor Stephanie Hargrave. (Before you go, remember that masks are required to protect the health of the residents there.) You can browse to your heart’s content from now until October. Speaking of fall…

… that’s when you’ll be able to see my artwork on the side of a new apartment building. I’m part of the artist team that designed balcony railings for “Uncle Bob’s Place” in the International District. More on that when we’re closer to the unveiling. But until then, spend some time at the Centennial Center Gallery while the weather’s still warm; “Ingratitude” is waiting for you!

Visit me at my new "home"

“Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.” You’ve heard that one before, right? Turns out that Twyla Tharp quote is true: I’m running away to Graphite, but I’ll be home in time for dinner.

From May to mid-July, I will be the artist-in-residence at this brand-new arts center in Edmonds, Washington. While I’m there, I’ll offer mentoring to artists just starting their careers. I’ll also create a piece that will be shown during the “Intersections” exhibit, a group show by artists (like me) with intersectional identities.

And a bonus for me: Graphite is within driving distance for me, so I literally will have all the comforts of home, in addition to studio time in an expansive space. Curious?

Come visit with me during the “Intersections” reception: it’s Saturday, May 7th at 7pm. Looking forward to talking art with you soon!

I like new art in June... how about you?

I like a Gershwin tune… how about you? I’m sure I’ll be humming that song while I prep for my next exhibition in June.

Just a quick note here to tell you where my latest work will be shown: at Gallery One. The exhibition opens June 4th, but I warn you, don’t sleep on this one — the show’s up only until June 26th. Since the weather’s getting better, I’ve decided a road trip to Ellensburg, Washington is just what I need. Speaking of “motor trips”… here’s Michael Bublé with the full version of “How About You?”
