I received a Juror Award for my artwork  Cosmology 6 (Mardi Gras) in the Marin MOCA group exhibition Winter Solstice; juried by Andrea Schwartz of the Andrea Schwartz Gallery in San Francisco.

In my Cosmologies Series I’m exploring how to give shape to the unseen forces that move through the universe.

Drawing upon influences from my childhood spent near New Orleans, I printed Mardi Gras beads and further developed the work with ink, duralar, and machine stitching to create a layered and tactile surface.
