Hi, Friends and Family.

I’m so proud to be included in an upcoming exhibition at the Umbrella Gallery in Deep Ellum curated by Bonny Leibowitz @bonnyleibowitz.

Opening Reception:

Dec 7, 2024 - 6:00pm to 8:00pm.

The exhibition runs Thursday, December 5th, 2024 through Thursday, January 2nd, 2025.

For this exhibition, "One Plus One Equals", Bonny challenged us to make one large wall-based work and either one large ceiling or floor-based work. The works could have many components and extend into the space in any configuration. The goal was to bring forth concepts inherent in the work, in conversation with the space and the body.

Inspiration for my pieces comes from a deep personal connection to Western North Carolina and the devastation wrought by Hurricane Helene, particularly to the historic town of Marshall that sits on the banks of the French Broad River. My largest installation is a depiction of the aftermath, the impact on the lives of the families who live there…but my intention is also to communicate the resilience of the people, the natural environment, and the communities that are working together to rebuild. The other piece is a wall hanging depicting the French Broad river as it runs through Marshall, north through Madison County and on into Tennessee.

I am also honored to participate along side and in relationship to these fabulous artists:
