January 2023 - Listen, I’m swell at a lot of things. One thing I’m absolutely terrible at? Keeping up with the News section here on this website, haha.
If you truly want to keep up with my up to date, moment by moment musings, follow me on Instagram. I try my best to post when things are happening on there.
That said, here’s some of the beautiful news from the last half of 2022!
I had three pieces in the PH21 Gallery Photographic Visions exhibition in Budapest, Hungary. This biennial exhibition features mini-series of selected artists, aiming to celebrate portfolios that are progressive and visionary. This was my second exhibition with the gallery!
My work finally made it’s way to the Pacific Northwest! A selection of The Untended Garden - Act I was projected during the Light Conversation Vol. 3 event curated by Small Talk Collective in August! The event was held outside at the incredible Oregon Center for Contemporary Art.
One of my favorite things of the past year - my work from The Untended Garden was a 2022 Photo Lucida Critical Mass Finalist! Not only that, but we had multiple finalists from Silver Water Collective - Christina Leslie, Emma Hopson, and Brianna Dowd. Bri went on to be in the Top 50! Surrounded by giants!
2022 was the year of the photography festival - my work was included in group exhibitions with the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival in Toronto, Canada as well as the FotoFocus Biennial in Cincinnati, OH with the SPE Women’s Caucus exhibition at Xavier University. Additionally, I was honored to represent Silver Water Collective at the 20/20 Photo Festival panel discussion with Lux et Libera and other incredible women photography organizations
Beyond the SPE Women’s Caucus exhibition, SPE Midwest was an incredible experience! I had the opportunity to partner with my friend, curator Sarah Ayers from Patch & Remington in Marcellus, MI, for our discussion In Conversation: Rural Gallery | Urban Artists about the benefits of artists putting their work in unconventional places and spaces. I also participated in the panel discussion for the SPE Women’s Caucus exhibition with the other incredible artists.
The exhibition Your Body Belongs To You through ShutterHub has been extended into the end of February 2023! This exhibit features over 200 images from women and nonbinary photographers in a beautiful outdoor experience in St Gilles Croix de Vie, France.
Here’s some additional news for 2023!
The Untended Garden - Echo is currently being shown at BasBlue in Detroit! This collection was curated by Alison Wong from Wasserman Projects featuring students, alumni, faculty, and staff from College for Creative Studies!
The Untended Garden - Thrive is on an adventure to Athens, OH for the Ohio University Art Gallery biennial Alternatives exhibition Image as Object. The exhibition runs through February 17th, with a closing reception on Feburary 16th starting at 5pm.
Images from the show A Siren’s Call will be featured in the Patch & Remington exhibit at the Affordable Art Fair in Chelsea, New York City. Tickets are available for the event on March 22nd-26th!
Production and design work on The Untended Garden book is still happening! Looking forward to everyone being able to see it in real life soon.
There’s even more excitement behind the scenes - can’t wait to tell you more! As always, I’m grateful for the support and how amazing the past few years have been. Looking forward to a beautiful 2023!
