Behaving Differentlyis a bicoastal group show that I have co-curated with Joshua Thompson. This exhibition brings together artists from across the country to respond to the question, what is a painting? Historically a painting has been categorized within the simple definition of a practice of applying paint, pigment or color to a solid surface. However, contemporary painting is now challenging categories and traditions of two dimensionality. Behaving Differently is an investigation of how and why something is or is not a painting. Come decide for yourself and see work by artists from Florida, North Carolina, New York, Wyoming, California and Washington.
I will be exhibiting new work in the upcoming, You Are Here, Too, an exhibition of art about maps and mapping. Works incorporate images, type, and constructs from maps, or maps themselves. Artists working in paint, graphic media, collage, embroidery, digital media, and ceramics explore the topography of the natural world, political boundaries, the built environment, slavery, motherhood, and other events that leave traces on the physical and mental landscape. May 3 through August 30, 2018 at the Good Arts Building in Pioneer Square, in two spaces: Good Arts Gallery, inside Cherry Street Coffee House at 700 First Avenue, and '57 Biscayne Artist Studios, upstairs at 110 Cherry. Co-curated by Annie Brule and Jane Richlovsky

Beach Collections is one in a series of soft grid arrangement studies of found objects - trash (mostly plastic) found on O'ahu's North Shore beaches. I had imagined that when I arrived in the tropical paradise of Hawaii, that I would be swooning over the soft sand, shells and rocks. And I did, I greatly admired the beauty of the beaches, but found myself collecting a different type of souvenir.
I am happy to announce my first curatorial project, Layered Intersections; a collaborative project with Joshua Thompson. Layered Intersections is a group show featuring ten artists investigating and challenging themes of abstraction and representation. While each maker has a distinct mark and method, moments in time overlap, compound and accumulate. Movement ebbs and flows through periods of marked stillness to instances of active vibrations. Loud and quiet, vibrant and pale, smooth and rough – these various stages or seasons of space and time are reflected in choice of media and content.

Please join us for the opening reception of In Between Doing & UndoingatPlank Gallery on October 14th from 6-10 pm. I will be featuring new work alongside Joshua Thompson. Together we are presenting a series of pairings as layered metaphors. Through the process of repeatedly making and unmaking, surfaces and metaphors begin to simultaneously hide and unveil themselves. Paintings, assemblages and collages expose the physicality of materials through cyclical processes and their implied psychological states of being.
