Welcome
This page features news and updates from my recent and upcoming work.
From left to right: the first image captures moments from my youth and adult workshops in collaboration with the Hamilton Public Library, including a visit to my solo exhibition with one of my classes in 2024. The next photo is from a youth workshop where we explored botanical and Paleolithic painting palettes. The third image shows a visiting Zen monk, who happened to be the first guest to arrive at my opening at The Waldron Arts Center in Bloomington, also in 2024. The final image on the right showcases my exhibition UpClose: Blooming Earth beautifully installed at the Waldron. Each painting was paired with a handheld magnifying glass, allowing viewers to closely examine how mycelium was grown onto various objects and paper surfaces.
