Recent Projects

Currently my life straddles two places: Los Angeles and Portland, where I live teach and make art. In May 2009, I collaborated with Los Angeles poet Suzanne Lummis for the exhibit Bringing the Past To Light: New Art from Old Images.

In Oregon, over the past five years I organized community art projects and created personal work. During August of 2009, pushdot studio hosted my solo installation, Cottage Industry, which used aprons to acknowledge the variety of labor done by women's hands. Some work I had my hand in was Cycle Seen 2008, which celebrated the diverse bicycle culture in Portland through nine exhibitions featuring photographs and art of over 80 individuals; this project was supported in part by a grant from Regional Arts and Culture Council (RACC).

In February 2007, Re-freshing Play, an installation examining female memory and how women's perspectives and perceptions change with age, was on display at the Rake Art Gallery in Portland. In August, 2006, Hidden Acts: Balancing Truths, a solo installation that explored family secrets, was on display at the Portland Building. This project was supported by RACC. A few additional highlights of my activities during the past five years in the Pacific Northwest include: participating in PICA's Dada Ball during the TBA:05 Festival with an installation piece entitled Dress-Up; a solo exhibition Seams-Sew Ordinary at the University of Washington Tacoma Gallery
