Finished installation of the Curate Purchase Inspire 2022 fellowships and announcement of 2023 recipients.

Multiple Louisville shows, including co-curating “Sustainability Compass”, for which I created an installation piece: “Trees to Pleas”, using mail I received over the past 2 years from environmental organizations.

“Passing By the Zinnias (Arthur in Mind)”

This 12” x 9” painting was inspired by the abstract nature-themed artists I admire and explores more abstract elements than previous works of mine.

Benefactor Award, Louisville Visual Art, in recognition of Curate Purchase Inspire fellowship.

The first painting of what has become the Weathered Series, an ongoing painting style/project. These paintings represent a collaboration with the outdoor elements. By leaving a canvas on-site, outside, for 3 months to even a year, there is time and space for the unanticipated to happen. 

I visit and work on the canvas multiple times where it is placed and then bring it inside to the studio to finish the conversation.  It is a different take on plein-air painting, which has always been a part of my oeuvre.

Artist-in-residence, Rancho Linda Vista, Oracle, AZ

Each morning started with working on this painting, a view outside the guest house picture window. This residence provided a critical time to reinvest as an artist, after raising two children and caring for two aging parents.  

“Guest View”11” x 31 ½”, graphite, watercolor, acrylic on paper.

UofL Health Care Outpatient Center, awarded lobby mural commission through competition.

Much of my mural work has been painted in the studio and wall-paper pasted on-site (allowing for future relocation as necessary).

Multiple mural projects, including UK Chandler Hospital/ Kentucky Children’s Hospital, UK Good Samaritan Hospital.

In the studio: installation pieces for “Where the Sycamore Resides”.
