Reckoning, 2025, cotton, batting, acrylic on canvas 
I am so honored to have been selected to exhibit in the Arizona Biennial, 2026 at the Tucson Museum of Art and Historic Block. The exhibition is on view May 22 to September 26.  It features thoughtful artworks by Arizona artists, and I've gone to see this show over the years with anticipation of who's doing what for contemporary art in the Southwest. My exhibited work, "Reckoning" is a fiber art quilt that features America's largest plantation home in blazes. The work  is a combination of foundation paper piecing and acrylic paint on canvas.
