Fiber Arts
In 2025, I collaborated with three other artists on a project we called Wild Garden.
Wild Garden has resonated with viewers both in person and through photographs, its complexity and beauty revealed in every stitch. It first appeared at the 2025 Fantastic Fiber Show at O’Hanlon Center for the Arts, juried by textile artist and professor Carole Beadle. The work was subsequently selected for Bold and Free, an online exhibition sponsored by the Marin Society of Artists and juried by gallerist Julie Zener.
In March 2026, the Mill Valley Arts Commission selected Wild Garden for reproduction as a large-scale Dibond print for display in downtown Mill Valley. The print is now on display and on permanent loan to O’Hanlon Center for the Arts. Later, Wild Garden was selected from over 1100 entries for the 42nd Irvine Annual, which ran July 11 through September 5, and was juried by Artist/Curator Stephen Anderson, Artist Virginia Broersma, and Curator/Arts Administrator/Arts Advocate Cecelia Caro.
Wild Garden is now on view by appointment at Upstart Modern Gallery in Sausalito, September 19 through November 7, 2026.
