New Work - Flash Flood Watch

 
I am happy to present my newest work, Flash Flood Watch.

Alarmed by global climate change and frequent dramatic weather events, I’m working on a series of weather-related quilts. Summer storms are now events fraught with potential peril, with time spent taking refuge, checking unreliable weather reports, and watching the sound and the fury play out.

I am honored to share that Flash Flood Watch has been juried into OH+5, at the Dairy Barn Arts Center in Athens, OH, from January 16 - March 29.

From the website: The OH+5 exhibition celebrates the creative pulse of the Midwest and Appalachia through a dynamic survey of contemporary artwork by artists living in Ohio and its 5 bordering states: Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Now in its fifteenth iteration, this juried exhibition invites submissions across all media, offering a platform for both emerging and established artists to share work that reflects the diversity of thought, technique, and innovation in our region.

As we look to the future of regional artmaking, OH+5 aims to capture the spirit of experimentation and the relevance of place. This is an opportunity to showcase work that speaks to personal or collective experiences, questions tradition, and expands the conversation about what contemporary art can be – here and now.
