Three of my works were selected for FRAMED, work that speaks to home, shelter, neighborhood, family, Durham, migration, rootedness, or the act of making. FRAMED is the first art show fundraiser in Habitat for Humanity of Durham’s history. One evening. Local work on easels throughout the room. Soft music, a bar, hors d’oeuvres, and a room full of people who come out because they believe a home is a foundation for everything else. 30% of every sale goes directly into building and repairing homes in this city, while 70% goes to support the artists. Durham’s artists were invited to help Habitat for Humanity put something on those walls and to help them build the next ones. Please join me!

I’m returning to Durham Arts Council as a faculty member this fall, and submitted three paintings to be joined by students who I’ve taught in the past, prior to my stroke. Our House is a beautiful theme creating a metaphor for the DAC. The paintings that I selected were developed in early 2020, during the wildfires of Australia and I was thinking about the symbol of home represented by the comfort of a womb chair. Explore artists, both instructors and students here.
