Selections in Honoring Women's Rights




Hello All!

I have the above two pieces (from my Hunters and the Hunted series)  included in the upcoming conference and juried art exhibition, Honoring Women''s Rights, at the Steinbeck Museum in Salinas, CA. This is a wonderful way to network and help support women in the arts.


Dates of Conference: Sept. 7th - 9th


Art Exhibition
Opening: September 8th, 6:00 - 9:00pm
Exhibit shows thru Jan. 6th, 2013


About the Conference
"Late this summer, women advocates, artists, art historians, curators, and educators are coming from all over the country to the National Steinbeck Center in the Monterey Bay Area for our Pacific Regional Honoring Women's Rights conference celebrating the Women's Caucus for Art (WCA) 40th anniversary. This is a tremendous opportunity to meet and network.
Together, we can make a difference in the world today. Together, we can share diverse connections and discuss our ideas at the Honoring Women's Rights conference and exhibition, and that could reach far beyond September 8, 2012.
The artists that are juried in to the exhibition use art to make honoring women's rights statements and call more attention to the challenges we face today.


We hope the conference and exhibition encourages young people to find their voices and talk about important interesting women's history." - Via Honoring Women's Rights



This "Honoring Women's Rights: Echoing Visual Voices Together" juried art exhibition is organized and presented by four WCA chapters: South Bay Area, Northern California, Peninsula, and Monterey Bay and the National Steinbeck Center.

Upcoming Exhibit at Modern Eden, San Francisco


Modern Eden will be showcasing a group exhibition, “Myth” featuring works inspired by sacred narratives, legends, and folklore. From Greek mythology to religious icons, these images will aim to capture the art of storytelling and illustrate the meaning behind these texts. Some of the most well-known legends such as the golden touch of King Midas to some more obscure tales like the Japanese Akaname, a toilet licking demon aimed to teach children about sanitation will be addressed in this international group show.

My piece for the show - Persephone, gouache on wood.

Exhibiting artists include Erika Sanada, Steven Suiter, Cory Benhatzel, Lacey Bryant, Daisy Church, MAM, Yosiell Lorenzo, Layil Umbralux, Lucy Hillenbrand, Courtney Blazon, Joseph Kelly, David Camisa, Jaclyn Alderete, Corey Urlacher, Christine Benjamin, Patrushka, Peter Breese, Prunelle, Kim Gordon, Preston Thomas, Catherine Moore, Steve Belmarsh, Michelle Waters, Jeff Felker, Cody Seekins, Marisa Ware, Karyn Crisis, Kim Larson, Carisa Swenson, Kristin Forbes-Mullane, Peter Adamyan, Vahge, Mary Syring, Sean Sczepanik, Jessi Kempin, Sheri Jurnecka, Karmene K-P Hassell, Zofia Bogusz, Monty Guy, Lee Harvey Roswell, GAFAS, Kieran Collins, Cody Vrosh, Sarah Vanphravong, Ryan Gannon, Emilio Villalba, Melissa Morgan, Sergio Lopez, Marcos LaFarga, and Cayetano G.
