New work in the ArtDC "Zip Code" show
For the show, I will be mounting this piece as 4 separate images on panels to make up one large image, with "roots" that extend out from the center and off the image itself onto the wall of the gallery space. These strands will attach to push pins on the map and beyond, each pinpoint representing my life and all of the zip codes in which I have lived.
Show details: artoutlet.org/news/events/zip-code-show
The ZIP Code exhibition runs from August 29- September 5
The gallery space is located at Halstead Arlington at 1028 South Walter Reed Drive in Arlington, VA 22204 (right in my old neighborhood!)
Opening reception, Sat Aug 29, 5-midnight;
Gallery hours:
Tue - Fri, 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm; Sat Sept 5, 5-10 pm
Please come out and see the show!
***This piece represents the various zip codes in which I have lived as well as the routes and roots that connect town and country on the map of my life. After growing up in rural Pennsylvania, I went away to art school in the very heart of Philadelphia and grew into a city girl for seven years. After a brief stay in New Jersey (let's just fuggedaboutit) I moved away with my then boyfriend who had taken a job in McLean, Virginia. We eventually got married, and in 1998 we bought a house right down the street here in South Arlington. This was our first home, the place where we loved and laughed and the place where I continued my studies as an artist. This was the home where our first child was conceived; the home where I grew into being the creator of both art and human life.
It was with both profit and loss that we moved away from Arlington to rural Maryland in 2004 when my son was still an infant. Though I still miss the hip hum of the old zip code, the cocktails, the music and movies, fresh pupusas and tasty Thai food, the late nights laughing with friends in the old 'hood, I am truly at home and at peace in this new chapter of my story, growing where I am now planted within these arbitrarily-drawn boundaries on the map of my life.
Our current home in the green hills of Maryland is very different from that little house on the busy streets of Arlington. Instead of cafes and bars and cinemas n' drafts, in my daily travels I see green fields and horse farms and the exquisitely subtle change of seasons. This is the place where now I AM a mother and where I AM an artist in daily practice in the nurturance of both of these important facets of my life. I have grown into a larger house, a larger landscape and a larger sense of myself and my place in this world. I have put down an extensive root system and developed new art and arteries here; pathfinding new avenues of expression from the places I've been and the places on the map I have yet to pinpoint.

Upcoming Solo Exhibition
--------------------------------------------------------------
Please come to my solo exhibition entitled
The Arborist: Roots, Resilience, Rebirth
Opening reception Saturday, April 4, 2009 from 3-5:00pm
Runs through Sunday, April 26, 2009
Location: Delaplaine Visual Arts Center
The Kline Gallery
40 South Carroll Street
Frederick, MD
Phone: 301.698.0656
My work in The Arborist Series features images I created after moving to rural Maryland from urban Washington, DC and was created during the autumn of 2006 through Spring of 2007 while I was pregnant with twins, one of whom died before birth. In this series of tree images I have explored the cyclical transitions of birth and growth, resilience through loss and grief and finally the renewal and rebirth of my role as a person, mother and artist; the progression of time and the seasons revealing themes inherent in the life cycles of trees and all of the natural world.
Showing these pieces as a collected body of work is the cathartic culmination of a difficult yet ultimately hopeful cyclical process.
I will be at the opening reception nervously awaiting your questions and comments, so if you are in the DC metro area, please come!

**2008 Holiday Limited Edition Print now available!
I am officially announcing my 2008 Limited Edition print from which all proceeds will be donated to charity. I will be offering this as a digitally-signed 11 x 14" limited edition print on Kodak Endura Metallic professional paper.
This is the third year for this annual holiday tradition. Last year's edition raised almost $1,000 to help victims of domestic violence, so this year's proceeds will again go to Heartly House a program that provides safety, hope, and compassion to women, children and families in crisis. Your contribution will go a long way.
If you have been thinking of purchasing one of my pieces for yourself or for a friend, now is the time to get a little something for yourself while simultaneously giving back. I am offering this very limited edition print at a special price to entice you to give so that others might receive. I will be happy to ship your print anywhere in the world to anyone you choose.
This piece will only be available through January 10, 2009 and then retired in this size and finish. If you're not in love with this one, choose any piece in my shop and just send me an email to let me know you'd like the proceeds donated to charity and I will be sure to add the funds to the Heartly House total.
I get so much joy and peace from creating my work and I just want to give a little of that back to people who don't yet have the same opportunities. Thank you. Truly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In honor of this brand new web site of mine, the first ten people who send along their name and mailing address via the contact form or by joining my mailing list will get a nifty little free print, just for asking nicely!
