Was 2022 a good year for you?
2022 was a good year for my art career as many of my personal art goals were realized. An important event for me was having my painting, Passage selected as a finalist in the figurative category of the 16th International Art Renewal Salon Competition.
What were some of the highlights in your art career?
I’m among a select group of artists to have their artwork going to the moon (digital and analog technology in time capsules) and the first of women artists to have her painting on the lunar surface. The Lunar Codex is the first project to put the work of women artists on the Moon and also represents the first figurative realist art on the lunar surface. My painting, Blue Heron Dreams was selected by Samuel Peralta the payload coordinator and curator for the Lunar Codex.
Were you included in any shows?
My work was selected for an exhibition at the Owensboro Museum of Fine Art, KY and The Cressman Center, University of Louisville. In the month of October, I had a solo exhibit at PYRO Gallery in Louisville KY. I exhibited 15 of my paintings including five new paintings in a new series titled, Tangled Threads.
Were you published in any art magazines or periodicals?
I was delighted to open the new, beautiful Visionary Art Collective (Spring Issue 2) and see a two-page spread featuring my bio, artist statement and two paintings.
