IRIS Workshop

I taught a wonderful art class in New Haven last week, working with Afgan women through Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services (IRIS) and Guilford Art Center.  The women are part of an ESOL Class offered through IRIS and receive various sorts of programming throughout the day.  

I designed this class to be fun, accessible and creatively focused on pattern building and design.  It was a success!  Lots of smiles and intent concentration as the group of 14 worked on making necklaces for about an hour. 

 

 

This is a unique collaboration between Guilford Art Center and IRIS New Haven and I was glad to be a part of it.  I hope to teach an additional class with IRIS in the fall!

Lost and Found at Kehler Liddell Gallery - 6th Annual Juried Show

I am over the moon to be included in this year's juried show at Kehler Liddell Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut!  It's a great show.  

You can see the Catalog for the show by clicking here.  

You can learn more about the Artist Panel I'll be speaking on, facilitated by Enroue Onigbonna Halfkenny here.  

And here's a great Vimeo video where you can see all the amazing artists!  (You can see my work at about 1:40, or, right at the very end) - here .

 Here's a bit about the theme of the show - 

Lost/Found
Over 65 artists consider what they have either Lost / Found

WESTVILLE NEW HAVEN, June 30– July 31, 2022: 
Kehler Liddell Gallery presents. Lost / Found, the 6th annual juried show, showcasing work of over 50 artists.

For this year’s juried show, the artists at KLG asked their colleagues to consider the following:  Let’s just say there’s a vast shelf somewhere, lined with lost and found boxes, one for each person in the world. What would be in yours? What have you memorably lost in your life, and what have you found? Share what you’ve lost and found with us, in the box or outside of it. Please lose your inhibitions and interpret as you will... 

And here are some photos of my work in the show ( you can find out what my piece is all about by finding me in the Catalog link above!):
