    • June 24, 2024 Lady Coccinellidae
      Lady Coccinellidae Bookmaking has been an important part of my art practice for decades. After many years of studying the history of artist's sketchbooks and filling many of my own, I began making thematic books based on a variety of subjects, material processes, and conceptual approaches. I use a wide range of sketchbooks and journals, make my own using lots of different methods, and alter published books.
    • June 22, 2024 Mirrors of Reflection
      Mirrors of Reflection During the month of June, artists in our Re-Imagine programs worked with the subject of Reflections in their sketchbooks and related studio projects. We studied the visual impact of nature mirrored in bodies of water and the distinctly inverted, remarkably abstract views found there.
    • April 23, 2024 Connection and Restoration
      Connection and Restoration Over the past few months, artists in our Re-Imagine program have been focusing on the themes of Connection and Restoration in their sketchbooks and related studio projects. These subjects have been considered through the lens of natural phenomena, ecological concerns, and landscape abstraction.
    • March 27, 2024 Wild Things
      Wild Things A little over a year ago, I was invited to exhibit my work in the Ruth Brennan Gallery at the Dahl Art Museum in Rapid City, South Dakota. At that time, I was working on several series of work dedicated to the restoration of wild spaces in the Chicago area. These works were informed and inspired by the re-wilding efforts taking place along Chicago's lakefront, in the Cook County Forest Preserve, and at Big Marsh Park on the southeast side of the city.
