So excited to share the invitation for my solo exhibition at the Evanston Art Center in Illinois from July 14-August 11. I have been preparing for many months and am so thrilled that this is now becoming real! 😀

This is a new project I am excited about called “Silent Stream.” It currently measures about 14’W x 7’H x 10″D. It is configured of hundreds of pieces of colored polyester tulle that I piece and sew together and then layer in variegated sheets of color. This will be part of my installation that will be shown at the Evanston Art Center in July 2019. So excited!

This is my work in progress on a wall-based version of my “Silent Music” series. This is composed of polyester tulle, dichroic film, thread and paper lace affixed to the wall with map pins. It currently measures 8′ across and 5′ high but will ultimately be on two 20′ walls of the Evanston Art Center in July of 2019. Wish me luck! :0)

This is the final work in my series which I have decided to call “Emerge.” 12″h x 11″w. Dichroic film, painted vellum, plastic table cloth and polyester tulle with light reflective thread. I feel like I am looking within myself to find what is strong and positive in these works.

I am thrilled to share that 3 thread drawings from my “Flux” series were accepted into the SFWA Gallery “Celebrating Women” exhibition.
1 of the thread drawings was also selected for a Juror’s Choice award. 😀 The opening is March 7th at 5:30pm and will be up from March 5th-March 30th.

More progress on “Silent Music”. I am now layering sheets of pieced linear elements and it is starting to wrap around my studio. 😀 Can’t wait to install this at the Evanston Art Center.

I am surprised by the strong linear elements emerging in this installation and I think it reflects an increasing confidence I feel or perhaps a sense of trust in my direction. This is a 4 foot section of a project that currently measures about 18 feet in length. I am calling it “Silent Music.” Can’t wait to install at the Evanston Art Center in July 2019! Stay tuned!
