I’m thrilled to be part of several ARTOBER events! I’ll be having my own table at Handmade & Bound with some work I’ve never shown before; also look for one of my tunnel books in the Stitches + Stories Exhibition. Both events are at Watkins College of Art & Design. Find out more here:

It’s an honor to be part of The Heart and Soul of Middle Tennessee, Shimai Gallery’s celebration of Tennessee Craft Week at the Bellevue Branch of the Nashville Public Library. Hope you can join us for demonstrations and hand-on activities for all ages on Saturday, Oct. 8; I’ll be there with Spicebush Tales, a new version of my 6-foot cube. And on Thursday evening, Oct. 13, I’ll be back at the Bellevue Branch, taking part in an Artists Forum with  David and Patricia Earnhardt and Jennifer Knowles. Learn more here:

Come and see the amazing Modular Art Pods at OZ Arts Nashville! I was lucky enough to collaborate with Patricia Earnhardt; I did the outside, and she did the inside. Ours is a 6-foot cube called Tales of the Anthropocene; the event runs through June 25. Read more about it on Tony Youngblood’s site:

Be sure to check out Joseph Hazelwood’s amazing video installation on vintage TVs in the Escaparte if you go. Here’s a shot of our segment taken through our “sneak preview” cube; that’s me in the cobalt blue shirt.
