"She Votes" Book

 While compiling the "She Votes" book I made a couple of videos about the book. This book is historic in nature in that it features 113 original artworks created by 69 artists who are all members of Women's Caucus for Art.  Most artists are members of the Southern Callifornia Women's Caucus for Art Chapter but some are by members of other Chapters and Members-At-Large. The catalog is now available on Amazon.com

Water Bubbles

My "Water Bubbles #1" was juried into SAQA's vitural exhibit Land Art: From the From the Forest to Your Balcony! 

The virtual exhibit will be up until the end of the year. I have been working on this project for a couple of years. Actually this project started casually by dipping fabric that was tied in the shibori method into my Indigo Bath. As many of my projects are created I can start blindly with just a feeling and the project evolves with time. I love this process as it lends itself to so much personal discovery. The total different sites I worked on probably were well over fifteen. The story behind "Water Bubbles" is a fun playful one. 
In the spring of 2021 an article I wrote about the playfulness of the inspiraion will be published.
Once the article is published I will do a update. Who knows what I will have been able to add to this project by then. Below is a detail of "Water Bubbles".
