Perspectives

Such an amazing opening reception, juror's words and all around amazing exhibition by @wisconsinvisualartists

So grateful to have not only one but 2 pieces accepted to this exhibition. So humbled to have my installation taking up the middle of the space on the second floor connecting the space and letting the work speak to each other. I made this installation in 2021 without fully realizing how it might evolve in other spaces or welcoming comfort and conversation.

People received welcoming thoughts and heard awards announced while gathering both within and around my piece. I just don't really have words.

Having my friends there supporting me and witnessing other people step close to my woodcut or interact with artwork in general is just such a profound gift to share with others. This exhibition is one of the best I have ever been in or seen. I'm so proud of us Wisconsinites!! 💕💕

Thank you to all the artists, juror's, curators, WVA folks and all those folks who do behind the scenes work. We appreciate you 💓

Perspective Exhibition Opening with Wisconsin Visual Artists

Today is the opening reception for Perspectives 1-3pm.

I can't wait to see everyone's work up together. I got a sneak peek of incredible work last week when dropping off my work. Congratulations to all accepted artists!

If you haven't yet seen my installation " What connects us" (seen on the right in this photo) or my large woodcut
" Refinement Artists " in person this is another chance to see them on view in an amazing space. This show is up through April.

See you all later 🎉

Exhibition Opening :)

What an amazing opening reception at @liminal.space.gallery !!

I thoroughly enjoyed all the live performances, poetry readings especially @cesledes poems, and improvisational cello accompanying dance and poetry.

So many great conversations, art plotting and connection. Makes me so hopefully for ecological resilience to actually take place ❤️

Go take a look at the visual art in Art of Ecological Resilience up through Feb 24.

Again thanks to @megs.pepin and Cristian Andersson for bringing this to fruition!

Fat City Emporium reunion show

At the opening reception for the Fat City Emporium reunion show ( art shown in the photo) I saw so many people. I had so many different types of conversations that filled me. It's still awkweird ( I mean that) to see so many people.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I heard compliments not only about my work but about the things I said and who I am. It has been a hard fight to accept these compliments to feel that I deserve them. I still push them away more than I should but I'm working on it. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So after a very vulnerable tender week this is my gratitude post. Madison has a way to go to have the inclusive, easily navigable, connected arts community I dream about but we're making strides. I'm happy to play a small part in that and to be a witness to growth on multiple levels. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I'm thankful to grow alongside all of you. 💓​​​​​​​​
