Communities West

I’ve participated in Communities West, a invitational portfolio project that connects artists who have roots in western North America. The portfolio travels around the US and we all receive an assortment of prints from other participants. You can see folios 1-5 here (direct link to my print in the 5th edition): Communities West and Communities West VI was organized in 2024. I’ve posted my two most recent folio prints below:

The Body Electric at ICRE

One of my recent prints was exhibited as part of a virtual exhibition during the International Conference on Residency Education (ICRE) in late October at the Palais de Congress in Montreal. A link to the full exhibition can be found here: https://thebodyelectric-lecorpselectrique.ca/exhibitions/montreal-qc-2022/digital-catalogue-2022/

My print that was exhibited is below. Enjoy!

I am Wearing Clothes but I am Naked 

My work I am Wearing Clothes but I am Naked is my contribution to the exhibition Flux showing right now at DC3 Art Projects in Edmonton. It was created in response to the year long research project on patient experiences dealing head and neck cancers. It brought together artists, medical researchers, and patients to share and translate cancer experiences. 

My piece deals with the aftermath of recovery, the distance that patients feel from their everyday life and specifically how fraught the social activity of eating becomes. 

Article: This is Not Art 

There’s an article from This is Not Art – an Italian/English site dedicated to art writing – about the Di Carta/Papermade exhibition in that my work is in. There’s a lovely write up about my piece in it. The article is in Italian but you’re just a short Google translate away from understanding plus there’s great install pictures. Enjoy! 

Okanagan Print Triennial 2015

I am one of 23 artists accepted into this year’s Okanagan Print Triennial. I decided to make my way out to Vernon for the exhibition opening and it was great to see the stunning range of works as well as a large and enthusiastic crowd. The Vernon Public Art Gallery rented some shipping containers to set up an off-site gallery a few blocks away as they couldn’t fit everything into the gallery. Here are some photo highlights from the exhibition. Congratulations to Sean Caulfield who won the grand prize.
