"Words & Images: Truth, Lies, & Heart"


Just finished a whirl wind morning of hanging sculpture in a space that doesn't let you put holes in the walls. So my 20 pound piece is hanging by wires from the ceiling. Yikes and Scary Yikes!!! Actually I only allowed one to hang - the other two Ill put on pedestals for opening night. Opening is Feb. 27 from 6-9pm at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center.

Here is my work for the Female Project's "Words & Images: Truth, Lies, & Heart" Women and Girls Speak Their Truth in Art:

"Small Favors" Show in Philly

  Well I will be back in my art school hometown of Philadelphia ( or my work will be anyways ) April 11- June 2, 2024 at the The Clay Studio.  This is a fun show where the work has to fit in a 4" square clear box that hangs on the wall. It's a fan favorite and will not let you down. Please come out for the opening April 11 from 5-8pm. I will have one of my porcelain wood fired hearts hanging on the wall for all to see.
