“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.
Graphite Arts Center, Edmonds, WA
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!
