I had he pleasure of being interviewed by Neesa Sweet from the Chicago Sun Times about Broken Yet Whole, my project for the International Museum of Surgical Science. What a fun experience, and so great to talk in depth about the project. The article was in the Sunday Feature with a focus on Chicago creativity. It was published on August 26th. The above photograph was taken by Pat Naboug. Click HERE to read the interview.

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.

"With the goal of enhancing your ability to apply color, we will rethink color through quick exercises, demonstrations and looking. Color theory, color mixing, color meanings, and paint application will all be explored. At the end of this course, you will have a concise review of color and clear methods for exploring color in your paintings.”

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!
