    October 2024- Midwest Nice- Art as Storytelling



    I am happy to share that my piece A Box Full of Stars was included in the Midwest Nice Art exhibition- Art As Storytelling juried by Aline Smithson.

    Juror's statement-
    I was recently in discussion with a significant curator, and she asked, “how is this work elevating the medium and pushing boundaries? Show me something new!” I thought it was an important question and consideration for this exhibition, as creating art in 2024 is filled will endless possibilities. More than ever, artists have become the important storytellers in this complex world we live in. Visual art, in its myriad forms, serves as a universal language. Art interpretation transcends the barriers of culture and language, offering a unique medium through which artists convey their stories. Visual art possesses the remarkable ability to communicate complex ideas, evoke emotions, and leave an indelible mark on the viewer.

    As a juror, I look for unique and elevated approaches with more than one layer of articulation. The work needs to reveal a quality of expression that is poetic, magical, meaningful, and/or creative. Also, I am not only selecting single images, but also curating a collection of works into an exhibition that needs to feel fresh, have a strong point of view, and speak to art and storytelling in 2024.

    2024- Photolucida Critical Mass Top 200 Finalist



    I am filled with gratitude right now to learn that my series "Lost and Found" was chosen for the Photolucida Critical Mass Top 200.

    If you were following my Instagram in June while I was working on this series, you will know that I sat at my desk and wept every single day as I was creating these pieces about the death of my twin daughter and the long-term effects this tragedy had on the mother and daughter who remain.

    I am a private person and not weepy by nature, but I absolutely poured my heart's blood into this cathartic work and I am honored to have it recognized by an international panel of pre-screening jurors. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to be both vulnerable and brave while telling our story.


    It feels like a tremendous affirmation of the work I do every day to have two very different series recognized by Critical Mass two years in a row.

    June 2024- PhotoSC, South Carolina

    My piece Still Life was selected to be included in the upcoming BECOMING: The Feminist Image exhibition at PhotoSC in Columbia, South Carolina

    Juried by Elizabeth Avedon

    This piece “Still Life” from my “Follies” series uses 100+ year old vintage risqué photographs of Vaudeville chorus girls layered with my original photography to take back the female form from the all-consuming male gaze. The title Still Life reveals that though the nude female body is presented as an object for consumption, we are at the same time reminded that there is still life and value in a woman’s existence beyond her youth and beauty. I have literally turned the nude female forms on their heads and covered them in roses to highlight both the big dreams and the acute vulnerability of these young women who, 100 years ago, had so few choices in life; traditional marriage and motherhood or, for a brief taste of the big city, objectification and exploitation. Either choice demanded a pound of female flesh.

    Created in the middle of Women's History Month 2024, this work questions what has really changed since our great-great grandmothers moved through this world 100 years ago, when today my daughter has fewer rights to her own bodily autonomy than I did at her age.

    July 2023- Decode Gallery- Tucson, Arizona

    My piece "Banshee" was selected for inclusion in the International Juried Photography Exhibition DARKNESS juried by Holly Hart at Decode Gallery in Tucson, Arizona.

    “Banshee” from my 2023 "Memento Mori" series was created in response to no less than seven loved ones being diagnosed or dying from cancer in the space of a few short years. A Banshee is a fairy from ancient Irish legends and her scream is believed to be an omen of death. The scream is called ‘caoine’ in Gaelic which means ‘keening’ and is a warning that there will be an imminent death in the family. A Banshee is a disembodied spirit and can appear as a pale woman wearing a white dress with shrouded long hair. The grim reality of illness and death surrounding the people I love inspired me to look directly at the Banshee without letting its keening cry overcome my own will to live and go on creating light in this world in the face of darkness.

    My piece "Surface to Air" was selected for inclusion and won an Honorable Mention award in the International Juried Photography Exhibition THE SHADOW ASPECT, juried by Sarah Weiss and on display at the Praxis Photo Arts Center Gallery in Minneapolis, Minnesota


    ‘Most people think that shadows follow, precede, surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses, and memories.’ - Elie Wiesel.

    Praxis Gallery presents photographic art that explores the formal, conceptual, and metaphoric implications of the shadow. Submissions may focus on the shadow as pure visual form expressed through the creation of line, shape, pattern, and texture. They may also examine the cultural and psychological implications of the shadow - exploring ideas of foreboding, internal conflict, passages into the unconsciousness, or other ephemeral interpretations.


    Opening Night Reception: May 20TH, 6-8 PM CST
    Exhibition Dates: May 20TH - June 3RD, 2023

    My piece, "Kintsukuroi" was selected for inclusion in the Woman Life Freedom exhibition juried by Shahrbanoo Hamzeh and on display from May 6 to June 3, 2023 at Woman Made Gallery- Chicago, Illinois.

    'Woman Life Freedom is a slogan that the women of Iran are chanting on the streets in​ an unfair war with the gender apartheid regime to gain their basic human rights and bodily​ autonomy back. Beginning on September 16th, 2022, with Mahsa Amini’s unjust death, Iranian​ people have been shedding blood, sweat, and tears while protesting in the streets for freedom.​ ​We can play our part for freedom through art."

    "I believe artists are able to take up the fight for​ women’s rights and become the voice of Iranian women. This exhibition is centered on women’s rights and is an act in solidarity with the brave​ women who are putting their life on the line for freedom. Inspired by the lack of awareness​ surrounding the more than four decades of state-sanctioned violence perpetuated by the​ Islamic Republic against Iranian women, I am inviting you to share your story. What needs to be​ heard and what needs to be changed? Our fight for women’s rights everywhere will not end until each​ and every one of us is free. Woman Life Freedom brings together information, conversation,​ ​and visual elements surrounding this huge fight for human rights. With this exhibition, we are​ hoping to elevate and add to the Iranian women’s voice."

    My piece "Circle" was selected for inclusion in the Hera Gallery National Juried Exhibition "Oh, Mother" Juried by Nadiah Rivera Fellah, Associate Curator at the Cleveland Museum of Art

    The word MOTHER - as both a verb and a noun - is rich and timeless, yet overdetermined, and even controversial when gendered and rendered exclusive. Mothers and motherhood have been romanticized and glorified since the Venus of Willendorf and have been the subject of representation over the ages in every ethnic, cultural, religious, spiritual, social, and environmental contexts.

    What does the word MOTHER mean to you? As a child of a mother? As a witness to a mother? As a mother, or a person who mothers? As a human being deeply connected to Mother Earth? As an artist, what images does the notion of motherhood conjure up in you? Are they generous and abundant, filled with nourishment and laughter? Or are they frail, overwhelming, and Confusing? Are they filled with a sense of darkness, destruction, or a void? This exhibition at Hera Gallery will show works which examine, unravel, deconstruct, and re-write the myths of motherhood.

    Exhibition Dates: May 13th- June 17th, 2023

    How do our memories and experiences impact our work?

    As artists, we often create as a tool for visual processing. In turn, our work becomes a culmination of all that we have experienced in our lives thus far. Our memories, dreams, and perceptions are woven into narratives that are deeply personal and yet still universal. In this exhibition, we are showcasing that explores the connection between memory, experience, and perception, and how those elements inspire the creative process.

    STRATA II:
    Manifesting Through the Layers

    My piece "Lost In Translation" was selected for inclusion in this online exhibition featuring work whose

    "visual and symbolic layers build upon meaning, texture, variety, and exploration with connective threads of the figure, elements of nature, home, comfort, identity, and psychic undercurrents within a maximalist tapestry reflecting our complex time. The figure is a punctuating note within the striations of the narrative and appears as a disrupted (or an obscured) presence. The surfaces and the chaotic interpretations serve as a mirror to the many convolutions of existence today."
