I am off to Vermont Studio Center for a much-needed stint to make work!
I have a painting in Kala’s Artists Annual Exhibition, October 20, 2022 – January 13, 2023. Stop by the Kala Gallery Tues-Fri, 12-5pm to check out the incredible work of Kala’s creative community. 2990 San Pablo Ave., Berkeley, CA 94702
Thank you to Torine Helland and Hissing Contemporary Art Magazine for the artist interview with reflections on art-making, my time at the Rauschenberg Residency, Kala, and more.
I am still thankful to The Rauschenberg Residency for a special two-week residency for artists working as full-time arts administrators at an artist residency organization. I’m grateful to have been a part of Residency #34.

Other Noteworthy Past Projects
I was happy to have work at the Contemporary Jewish Museum for From Generation to Generation: Inherited Memory in Contemporary Art. You can check out my video Downtown that was part of The Yud Video Project on display in the Stephen and Maribelle Leavit Yud Gallery from November 25, 2016 to July 9, 2017.
Going back a little further in time, I am a big fan of The Vault, Slate’s history blog, and was thrilled when Rebecca Onion wrote this story highlighting a couple of the vintage home movies in my film collection. “Having A Baby” in 1942: One Couple’s Utterly Charming Homemade Documentary, December 3, 2013.
