September News
Warmest greetings. It is hard to believe that summer is coming to a close. This summer, I installed two large public works and am hard at work in the studio preparing for two museum exhibitions on the theme of Health and Art–one in Texas and one in Fargo, North Dakota. In this newsletter, I am also sharing lots of wonderful press. I am so fortunate and excited to share them with you.

The artworks examine and experiment with light and color, and the concepts underpinning the connection of art to well-being.
