Pink Ambition

 As 2025 came to a close, NAEA announced its annual Member Art Exhibition. I am so tickled to have been selected to exhibit alongside such an inspiring group of art educators whose creative practices continue to shape classrooms and communities across the country. NAEA received 356 entries, with just 70 artworks jury selected for inclusion, making this opportunity feel especially meaningful. Being part of this exhibition is a celebration of both personal studio practice and a shared commitment to artmaking, teaching, and continuous creative growth.

Pink Ambition 

This work is inspired by the vision of feminine leadership: bold yet compassionate. The pink bullseye on the Capitol symbolizes hope for a future where women uplift women, and power is guided by empathy. Art matters because it imagines possibilities, challenges systems, and points us toward a kinder world.

To enjoy the exhibition, visit the newly designed NAEA website. 

You are invited!

 The 17th annual Artist Teacher Exhibition: Materiality is currently on display at the Workhouse Arts Center. The reception is Saturday November 9th from 6:00pm - 8 :00pm. It is a beautiful show with an abundance of media to delight your eyes! I hope to see you there.

Herstory: Hilde....Celebrating Bad Ass Women!

 This wild woman made her first trip to New York City this month!  Hilde is a performance artist, accomplished art educator and mother of two from the West...she took full advantage of her Big Apple opportunity!

Hilde even managed to find a quiet moment on the buzzing NYC subway!

 She kept a list of all the moments...so she would not forget with all the stimulation of the big city and conference offerings! Some of the list: Subway ride, cab ride, Chelsea, the Whitney Museum, MOMA, Meret Oppenheim, #art_leg, Irish pubs, Oliver Herring, Jeff Koons, Advanced Style icon & new found friend Deborah, potato in Arabic, thrift stores, Tin foil fascinator, SVA, steam punk goggles...that is just to name a few...

I admire the way Hilde absorbed New York City! 

This lady is a vision in creativity and curiosity! Her students will certainly benefit from her experience at the National Art Education Conference this year! Lucky kiddos!
