My newest prints and dimensional works are created with a hybrid process that integrates digital and traditional printmaking with kirigami elements. I cut shapes directly into the print and fold them open to reveal colorful, often iridescent, substrates beneath. My phthalo-forward palette is intentional. The Smith River's waters range from emerald, phthlo turquoise to cobalt, revealing an undercurrent of spirituality, vitality, and presence. These works, and my broader Smith River series, reflect an ongoing exploration of freshwater systems as living beings—dynamic, threatened, and enduring.

LUMINOSITY: THE GLOW FROM WITHIN
Curators: Laura Abrams and Robert Abrams
Abrams Claghorn Gallery, Albany CA
Reception: Friday, April 11, 2-4 PM
Luminosity is defined as “full of or emitting light; bright or shining, especially in the dark.” Artists were challenged to create incandescent, illuminated artwork, whether through materials, literal lighting elements, and stories that radiate spirituality, resilience, power, and charisma. Nineteen artists lent their talents to works in delightfully diverse media–glass, ceramics, painting, and drawing – with figurative and abstract forms that emanate inner glow. We seek light to get us through dark times. Light leads the way.

DETOUR - A COLLAGE-A-RAMA EXHIBITION
Arc Gallery, San Francisco CA
Reception: Friday, May, 7-9 PM
Closing Reception: Saturday, May 9, 12-3 PM
The medium of collage explores how our perceptions can constructively change over time. Artists manifest new stories from old scraps that reflect the fleetingness of nostalgia. Accumulated and manipulated bits of memorabilia and ephemera serve to compose the indefinite, continued progress of existence. It’s a practice of synthesis where images and materials from the past are placed together to create a new whole - manifesting our present and pointing ideas towards the future.

FEM-minis - AN NCWCA JURIED EXHIBITION
Curator: Christine Cianci
Jurors: Sawyer Rose, Madi Toloui, Sandra Yagi
San Francisco Women Artists Gallery, San Francisco CA
Reception: Saturday, March 7, 2-4 PM
Online Artist Talk: Thursday, March 12, 7-8 PM
Already, my petite, but cosmic, dimensional print is one of 59 works featured. Here’s a detail showing where I cut into the print and lift shapes to reveal glimpses of golden iridescence. FEM-minis, an NCWCA juried member exhibition, encompasses themes related to women or female-presenting persons: the female figure, femininity, feminism, children, dismantling patriarchy, the lived experience of female-identifying persons, suffrage, reproductive rights, and the struggle against or within the bonds of gender roles. It is also about claiming the space to simply be who you are. It’s inspiring to see what artists created and how they worked within the 6 x 6 inches limitation!

Curated by Rio Yañez and Bridgétt Rex
South of Market Cultural Arts Center, San Francisco
Friday, October 10, 6–9 pm: Unveiling and Opening Reception
Friday, November 7, 6–9 pm: Closing Reception & Drag Show
Meeting the Moment, my installation created in collaboration with Juliet and Dean MacCannell, honors René Yañez’s masterwork—more than two decades of curating Day of the Dead exhibitions at SOMArts. I am honored to be included in this year’s curated line-up with a project so close to my heart and the hearts of my colleagues—long-time SOMArts Día de Los Muertos exhibitors and friends of René.
Enter a Mayan arch guarded by Ix Chel and Kulkulkan, deities of creation and transformation. The interior contains a tribute to René Yañez and the creative community he nurtured. Continue to three panels presenting a timeline (c. 2000–René’s passing), where René’s Día de los Muertos themes are placed in dialogue with local and global events—revealing his deep attunement to the moment within the larger arc of time
