Exhibit at Carl Cherry Center in Carmel

I’m honored to be showing work in Salon Jane Celebrates Ten Years: Photography Reimagined at the Carl Cherry Center for the Arts in Carmel, CA. Salon Jane was established in 2014 with six women artists in the Monterey area, and began as a salon to share feedback and support each other. We have since exhibited at galleries, the Monterey Museum of Art, and the Center for Photographic Art. We are thrilled to celebrate at the historic Carl Cherry Center with the local Carmel artist community. The show starts Nov. 1, 2024, with an opening event 5-7pm, and runs to Nov 30. There will be a walk-through with the artists Nov 9 from 2-3pm.

Tor House Photo Essay in Dark Mountain Project

I am happy to present my photos in collaboration with Dark Mountain writer/editor Neale Inglenook. This essay is published in the latest edition of the Dark Mountain Project journal, Issue 22: ARK. The theme is Ark:  its pages hold a cargo of another sort: an assemblage of stories gathered from the wreckage left by a flood that has already come, art and writing that reveal the beauty, resilience and strength found in being fully alive in a troubled time. The essay by Neale is from his residency at Robinson Jeffers’ Tor House in Carmel, California, accompanied by my black and white images from Tor. Check it out, this is a rich story and a beautiful journal!

Uncertain Times

On March 6, 2020, I opened an exhibit with the artists of Salon Jane at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies of Monterey. The show was short-lived as the campus was closed the next week due to the Covid shutdown. In the time that has passed since then, I have been creating new work and organizing a few shows for 2021. The new work came fast and furious, as I felt into what seemed to me like “vertical time,” a feeling of being in a suspended place, like time didn’t exist. The added uncertainty of our future as humans on Earth became more intense and real. I printed from my cache of negatives, both underwater and above. It was a very rich experience and the images that emerged helped me to focus even deeper on my ongoing series In the Liminal, which can be viewed online.
