BIO

Joe Bar

Seattle, Washington 2016

Using five months’ worth of hoarded trash, mostly from Trader Joe's, as raw material, the artist slowly covered the iconic green walls of Joe Bar Café in Seattle with a progressively accumulating, organic geometric installation. Curated by Ben Beres of Sutton Beres Culler.

BLACKgreyWHITE

Steele Gallery at Gage Academy

Seattle, Washington 2016

Heighten

University Heights Building

Seattle, Washington 2016

Using the entire first and second floors of the historic University Heights building in Seattle as a canvas, at times assisted by a team of her painting students, the artist painted, cut and taped thousands of pieces of paper in organic bursts of color emerging from the walls, wainscoting, fire hydrants, trash cans and water fountains. 

By considering the building as a unified, whole piece of art, the installation encouraged visitors to notice the old school in a new way.

Collage Paintings

Form Space Light Gallery

Seattle, Washington 2010

This show featured the artist's "collage painting" titled This Storied Heart, an organic wash of color interspersed with handpainted rectangles of paper, some of which sprayed off the heavy watercolor paper and onto the walls of the gallery in a boundary-defying installation.
