Welcome
News and updates are found on this page. The image from left: my youth and adult workshops with The Hamilton Public Library and viewing my solo exhibition with one of my classes in 2024. The next image is from my youth workshop where we learned about botanical and Paleolithic painting palettes. The woman in the next image is a visiting zen monk. She was the first visitor to my opening at The Waldron Art Center in Bloomington in 2024. The last image on the right is my beautifully installed exhibition with the Waldron. "UpClose: Blooming Earth." Each painting was mounted with a hand held magnifying glass to see up close how the mycelium was grown onto objects and to the paper. For 2025 I will be focusing on my new body of work in progress Resonant Signs which will preview in October with the Indianapolis Arts Councils, Gallery 924.
