Upcoming Exhibitions in February and March

 

I'm delighted to announce that I will be part of a three person exhibition in Albuquerque, New Mexico at The Richard Levy Gallery February 25 - April 4. Along with artists Kim Largey and Carl Smith, I will be exhibiting the following 6 gouache and flashe collages and 1 gouache painting. 

If you are in town, I will be attending the opening on Friday, March 6th from 6-8pm. It would be delightful to see you in person! 

I will also be participating this year in several collaborative projects created by Kristine Schomaker from Shoebox Arts at The Startup Art Fair LA in Venice, CA. February 27th - March 1st. Over a hundred artists will be taking over the hotel and each room will have its own flavor.

In hotel room #203, I will be exhibiting my new Alabaster sculpture as part of Kristine Schomaker's ongoing project "Perceive Me". When asked to participate, I just knew I had to pick up a chisle and carve her gorgeous curves in stone. Perceive Me is a social practice art project that confronts questions of body image and self worth head-on through collaborative portraiture and vulnerable witnessing. Since 2018, artist Kristine Schomaker posed nude for over 100 artists, resulting in a stunning collection of paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, and mixed media works—each artist interpreting her plus-size body through their own creative lens. This exhibition will primarily feature new collaborative works from the last couple of years, showing where the project is right now.

This isn't just about one artist's journey. Perceive Me speaks to universal struggles with body image, self-worth, and the beauty standards that marginalize anyone who doesn't fit narrow ideals. The project is a subversive act—standing up to a culture that values appearance over intellect, that hides and condemns bodies deemed unacceptable, that uses shame as a tool of control.

In hotel room #202, I created a collaborative art book with fellow artist Ruby Vartan which will be seen alongside 44 other books created by 88 other artists. Call and Response, a global artist collaboration program that has connected over 500 artists across six continents since 2020, makes its first physical iteration at Startup Art Fair LA.

After 20+ digital rounds of rapid-fire creative exchanges during the pandemic, this exhibition marks a significant evolution: 190 artists were randomly paired to create collaborative books together over four months. Partners worked either by mailing physical books back and forth internationally or creating pieces individually and combining them—navigating time zones, language barriers, shipping logistics, and completely different artistic approaches to produce works that neither artist could have conceived alone.

Room 202 will showcase approximately 90 collaborative artist books across all mediums—from altered vintage volumes to handmade constructions, accordion books, visual puzzles, oracle decks, and sculptural interpretations. The intimate hotel suite setting allows visitors to interact closely with each unique work, displayed throughout the space on beds, tables, and dressers.

This is a selling exhibition with works split equally between the two collaborating artists and Shoebox Arts. Each book represents the artifact of a four-month creative conversation between strangers who became collaborators through Call and Response's signature random pairing method—a model that continues to prove quality collaboration doesn't require institutional gatekeepers, just radical trust in the creative process.

I hope to see you at the Fair!
