Returning to a TV near you...

I'm balancing a little studio time this week...

... and a little TV time next week!

You can see me on KING5's "New Day Northwest" on January 9th to introduce more people to my museum exhibit You're Not From Around Here, Are You? If you're in the area, set your DVR for 11am; the show will be re-aired at 3pm on the sister station, KONG-TV. (The episode will also be posted online later that day.) See you on a screen near you!

Artist-led tours: all roads lead to NAAM

Got a question? Say it to my face -- I dare ya. Ask me anything... about my art.

This is your friendly reminder/invitation to join me for a tour of You're Not From Around Here, Are You? at the Northwest African American Museum (NAAM). I have to say, I get something out of it too. Hearing your interpretations of the works in this exhibit is kind of like taking a road trip with you as my guide. Details:

Hope to see you soon!

Safety zones, in black and white

Can I just tell you how cool it is to do a collaborative piece of art... with people you haven't even met yet? I heart you, mystery chalkboard writers.

Inside the You're Not From Around Here, Are You? exhibit, you literally have permission to write on (part of) the wall. For this art installation, I'd like you to share your personal safe space... and if that doesn't exist around here, I'd like you to share a specific place you don't feel safe.

Loving the results so far... here's a few to check out.

From Patricia A.: "People say so many negative things about my hometown, White Center, but I love our diversity and being unincorporated! Being multiethnic, I feel safe in diverse cities."

Anonymous comment: "I am from Balto., MD. Have lived in Seattle for 20+ years. I do not feel safe anywhere. As a black woman "feeling" safe is a luxury I can't afford. One must always be on her guard."

Anonymous comment: "Born in Yakima moved to Seattle in 1950 in the CD moved back in 2010."

If you can join us on the weekend of December 16th and 17th, you can make your own contribution to this art installation! Please let us know you'll be attending the artist-led tour that  day; RSVP on the Facebook Event page. Hope to see your thoughts on the wall soon, in black & white.
