- “Courage and Strength” Honolulu Museum of Art exhibit
Last Veterans Day, two artworks devoted to sharing veterans’ stories appeared simultaneously in two of New York’s busiest public spaces — Times Square and Union Square. The projects reflect a growing attempt to create new connections between two distinct communities — The art world and the military world. From photo shows in Houston, Honolulu, and Norfolk, Virginia, to art therapy programs at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and MoMA, artist, curators, and educators have been devising new strategies to present U.S. war veterans not as cyphers or victims but as protagonists and narrators.

I was granted a fellowship at the fabulous Dora Maar House in southern France, May – June 2012. It was a busy time of looking out my window, trying to get past the beauty, hiking, getting lost, eating well, and meeting new people. I made still life photographs as well as portraits of farmers and singers. I began an investigation into the portrayal of empty gestures. More to come!
