FIELD NOTES
Arthouse
1021 R Street, Sacramento, CA
July 8 - August 7, 2023
Opening July 8, 6 - 9 pm, Artist’s Talk 7 pm
A good walk calms and grounds me. On my walks, I hunt for treasure – stray feathers, rusty junk, intriguing seed pods, twigs and leaves. These items find their way back to my studio and into my work. Their harmonious colors and patterns inspired the textile pieces in Field Notes. I’ve hand-printed or dyed each of them using cyanotype, ecoprint, rust, and tea. Then they were lovingly stitched together into richly colored, quilt-inspired compositions.
Visit the show at Arthouse and feel calmed and restored by nature!

summer reading at the Pence
Pence Art Gallery
212 D Street, Davis, CA 95616
June 1 - July 16, 2021
Is there anything as relaxing as reading on a summer afternoon? Sitting in the shade of a tree or poolside, completely absorbed in a good book is a summer delight! This tranquil escape, surrounded by summer’s lush green growth, inspired my altered book series of cyanotypes.
Each print in this show is a one-of-a-kind original, exposed outdoors in the sun using plants gathered from my neighborhood. I used upcycled vintage book covers to mount the prints, giving the books new life. I added collaged text from novels and textbooks to embellish the edges. Several of the titles in this show are taken from the actual book covers!

Please drop by to say hello! This holiday I'll open my studio virtually. Of course it won’t be quite the same as in years past (what is?) but it will be lots of fun!
I’ll connect with you through hourly events on Instagram Live. I'll share my work, discuss my process, take you on a guided tour of the studio, and host a live Q+A session. I can also be your personal shopper! For fun, I’ll raffle off something special for those that join each livestream session.
Need to see a piece in person? Book a private studio visit. Windows open, masks on, and safely distanced, of course!
