Residency at International Museum of Surgical Science, Chicago

I'm very pleased to announce my participation in the Artist in Residence program at the International Museum of Surgical Science (IMSS) in Chicago, a rich environment for deepening my artistic practice, and for creating a platform for connection around healing. IMSS is the perfect place to further develop and implement my series Mend, allowing us to reflect together on universal ideas of mending, restoration and adaptation. Please be on the look out for how you can contribute domestic objects for creative, non-functional mends to the project this spring, and for future exhibition details.

The IMSS Artist Residency Program provides artists with extended and in-depth access to artifacts from its collection, working space within the Museum, and support to present exhibitions that introduce additional perspectives to the institutional depiction of medical history. As artistic practice occupies an increasingly pluralistic field, The International Museum of Surgical Science believes that artists are uniquely equipped to extrapolate on Museum collections in innovative ways. Artists-in-Residence present a capstone exhibition at the end of their residency.

"With the goal of enhancing your ability to apply color, we will rethink color through quick exercises, demonstrations and looking.

Artist in Residence at the Ragdale Foundation

I am thrilled to be returning to Ragdale as an Artist in Residence in January 2023! Ragdale is such a special community, and my original stay there in 2007 was cut short with the early arrival of my son. I am looking forward to focused painting time, and quite honestly for someone else to oversee dinner!
