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. 

NAEA Member Exhibition 2022

 NAEA received 425 entries during the call for submissions and 80 artworks were jury selected for inclusion. I am so tickled to be included in the exhibition this year!  It is so cool to be a member of an organization that celebrates artmaking and provides an opportunity to showcase its members skills.
