Current Newsletter
Wishing you a happy autumn. With this newsletter, I am excited to announce an upcoming collaboration with Robert Green Fine Arts in Mill Valley, CA., a new exhibition in San Diego, a commission by the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN., an article from the Walker Art Center’s online platform MN Artists, and a plenary speaking engagement at Mayo Clinic’s Brain Health Conference.
EXHIBITION AND ARTIST TALK in San Francisco / Bay Area
If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, please join me for a two-person show and artist’s talk at Robert Green Fine Arts. I’m thrilled to be showing alongside Ed Moses at this amazing gallery and look forward to future collaborations. The artist’s talk will focus on my exhibited work, the evocative power of color, form, and the power of light and atmosphere on one’s well-being.

SAVE THE DATE – Solo Exhibition in La Jolla, California
Athenaeum Music and Arts Library
Please save the date for the opening of my newest body of work “Luminosity” on November 17th at the Athenaeum in La Jolla, California. Inspired by the idea of luminosity and how light can offer an emotive quality, the exhibition will include installation, artist’s books, and sculpture. The exhibition will be on view November 18, 2023–January 13, 2024.
MAYO CLINIC COMMISSION
The commissioned work includes sixteen scrolls, each created to exemplify Mayo Clinic Values. Inspired by Mayo Clinic staff engagement project in the fall of 2022 with Professionalism and Values and the Dolores Jean Lavins Center for Humanities in Medicine, I was commissioned to create a new, large-scale installation to join the Mayo Clinic permanent collection.
SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT & WORKSHOP at Brain Health Conference
I am honored to have been invited to be a plenary speaker at the Mayo Clinic 2023 Conference on Brain Health and Dementia – Paths to Emotional Wellness. I will also host two workshops and create a Gratitude Quilt artwork with participants commissioned especially for this conference. This special conference provides attendees the opportunity to explore emotional wellness for oneself and the knowledge to positively impact wellness for those living with dementia, care partners, healthcare professionals, artists, advocates, and researchers who are all dedicated to this topic. Online and in-person, CME, and open to the public.
