Convergence: Health and Creativity Opening in Fargo
Thanks to everyone who was able to make it to the opening. Seeing so many people from the greater Fargo-Moorhead area and beyond was awe-inspiring! Plains staff report it was one of the largest exhibition openings to date for the museum. I was honored to see community participants whom I interviewed, and that informed the new work for the exhibition. More information about the exhibition can be found here.

Convergence Health & Creativity Video
It’s with gratitude that I share this 1-minute video with you about my exhibition and commission at the Plains Art Museum. It includes selections of the opening night speech and comments about the artwork. So many amazing people helped make this two-part project happen. Thank you, Erin Shapiro, Danielle Gravon, David Juarez, Rachel Herzog, Kaitlin Molden, Kelvin Monroe, Steph Kleeman-Olson, Cody Jacobson, and many others at the Plains Art Museum for the fantastic installation. I am incredibly grateful to Bailey Bolton and her expertise in video production. I will give an artist talk on January 23 at 6 pm if you are in the area. It is free and open to the public. The exhibition runs through July 13, 2025.
