ECHOES AND DEVIATIONS ::: LATE SUMMER/AUTUMN NEWS

My Summer months were full of activity within my studio and without—from old friends and reminiscing to adopting fresh creative modes and travel. It also marked an important transition. Since 2019, I have immersed myself in socially and environmentally engaged curatorial work as Northern California Women’s Caucus for Art’s Exhibitions Chair. After six fulfilling years, I passed the baton to my amazing colleague, artist Christine Cianci. During my tenure, I formed the NCWCA Exhibitions Committee to support the organization’s growing exhibition ambitions. I will continue to serve on the committee. This transition makes room for a new passion, The Roots International Art Project. It’s a global art initiative co-founded by sculptor Marguerite Elliot and me. The Roots International Art Project connects women, nature, science, and art—bringing together women, women-identified, and non-binary artists from diverse backgrounds. Our collective focus rests on the intrinsic beauty of the natural world and the imperative to safeguard our environment. Please check it out!
