2019 has been exciting!
As I prepare for my annual Fall Open Studio, reflecting back on the past year, I feel incredibly blessed by some special recognition my work has received in 2019. In February, the Cambridge Art Association presented me with an “Artist of the Year” award for my “Breast Project 2018” sculpture. I was also very honored to receive First Prize at the Legacy 4 Art Exhibition in North Easton for that same sculpture in June.
My sculptures were also included in juried exhibitions in North Carolina and in Duxbury, MA. For the “Winter Show” in Duxbury, my “Diatoms II” was recognized with an Honorable Mention Prize in Sculpture as well as the Viewers Choice Award for the entire exhibit.
In the Spring, I received exciting news from Haystack in Maine: I was selected for a two-week Artist Residency in late May to join 50 outstanding artists from across the US, Europe, and East Asia at Haystack for some time to brainstorm/create/explore. I was so grateful for the time to center myself, quiet my soul, and to develop new project ideas. Much of my time was spent on the Maine shoreline, writing, sketching, taking photos, and reading the poetry of Mary Oliver - stay tuned for the fruits as they blossom now and in the months ahead!
I hope you’ll be able to visit Oct. 19-20, but if not, contact me for a private showing!
