| "Chelsea Flower Show Portal" 2026, Oil on Canvas, 16x20" | Greetings and happy Summer Solstice weekend! While enjoying the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, it feels like the perfect moment to share some exciting updates, an upcoming show, and artist residencies. I am thrilled to announce that my work is featured in the 10-year anniversary exhibition, Summer Love, at G-Town Arts in Connecticut, which opens today. |

This summer promises to be both busy and deeply productive, with three wonderful artist residencies on the horizon. First, I was awarded as one of the artists-in-residence at East 40, a forty-acre site affiliated with Northampton College in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. There, I will develop a year-long site-specific project titled Celestial Mandala Flags – Solar and Stellar Meditations in the Meadow. The installation will interact with the landscape through natural-sourced materials and the changing seasons and will be documented over time. There will be an East 40 Artist-in-Residence Meet-and-Greet on Monday, June 22nd at 2pm. | | In early August, I head to the DNA Artist Residency, where I have been invited to make art on the tip of Cape Cod in Provincetown, Massachusetts. This residency always brings me a sense of creative renewal, and I’m looking forward to the inspiration from the natural landscape and the artistic fellowship it offers. | | I’ll round out the summer as an artist-in-residence at High Desert Test Site in Joshua Tree, California, near Andrea Zittel’s A-Z West. This has been a long-held goal of mine—after years of sharing the A-Z West project with my studio foundation students and dreaming of a time I could visit, let alone do a residency there. In anticipation of the area’s hot summer desert sun, I’m eager to observe its desert night skies, especially at dusk and dawn, while also exploring the residency’s ceramics and weaving/textile studios. | |

As a follow-up to my Spring Newsletter, my research trip to Monet’s Giverny Garden exceeded every expectation. I visited multiple times to study the ever-changing light on the water, the intricate details of the plantings, and the masterful way Monet composed his living and painted canvases. The experience deepened my appreciation for his approach to landscaping as art and for his profound aesthetic sensitivity to water reflections, ripples, and raindrops, rendered as fleeting gestural brushstrokes. |
