Ortega produced many of the new artworks with the help of Art Gym’s Printmaking Director Gregory Santos to create silkscreens, stone lithos and etchings.

Both Artists have been members at Art Gym for almost 2 years and work alongside each other in Art Gym’s open workspace and encaustic department.

Parallel Stories Lecture
Poetry as Portraiture: Adam Zagajewski and Andrew Winer
Sunday, April 15
2:30 pm

M: Free, NM:$10, Senior NM: $6

Parallel Stories is a literary and performing arts series that pairs art and artists with award-winning authors and performers of regional, national, and international acclaim. This series functions as a multidisciplinary lens through which to view the Museum’s collection and special exhibitions.Prize-winning, globally-admired poet Adam Zagajewski writes with precision and wonder about the calm and courage of ordinary life. He says of poetry that it “is like a human face — it is an object that can be measured, described, catalogued, but it is also an appeal.” His most recent book, Slight Exaggeration, is a blend of memoir, essay, and anecdote, and in which he defines poetry as “a slight exaggeration, until we make ourselves at home in it. Then it becomes the truth.” Zagajewski is interviewed by fellow writer, friend, novelist, and Chair of the UC Riverside writing program Andrew Winer. Book signing to follow.

An Education in Seeing: Geoff Dyer on “The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand”
Thursday, April 19
5:30 pm

M: Free, NM:$10, Senior NM: $6

In his latest book, award-winning, multi-talented author, essayist, and critic Geoff Dyer shares his unorthodox insights and eye-opening responses to 100 images — both iconic and hitherto unseen — by photographer Garry Winogrand, selected from the archive at the Center for Creative Photography. Come along on this wildly original journey in the company of Dyer, whose observations, idiosyncratic energy, and clear-sighted vision animate anew Winogrand’s work. This latest book, hailed as “an inimitable combination of photographer and writer, images and text,” serves as a kind of verbal portrait of Winogrand, but perhaps says as much about the author as it does his subject.

Opening Saturday, April 7 at SEPTEMBER: Sit-In, a collective look at the split behavior of a familiar form.
In an interrogation room, two chairs face each other across a desk. At a birthday party, the guest of honor sits at the head of the table. In a museum, bench seating is placed at regular intervals in the center of a room. At a principal’s office, the student is instructed to “sit down.” On a stage, a comedian stands beside an empty stool. At an auction, everyone sits, save the auctioneer.
A seat is a frame and a proposition. A person sitting either subscribes to or rejects suggestion; their body gives in to the framework, or contradicts it- settles into an armrest or sits forward, lounges on a chaise or perches on edge.
When the functionality of the form is prioritized, a chair is more or less self-evident. A seat with four legs and a back can have an uncomplicated purpose. A folding chair provides the utilitarian uses of being portable stackable, and sit-able. An execution chair is constructed to suit its intention: remain stable, unbreakable, and provide constraints.
However when aesthetics and composition reign, a new function is served. The grandeur and adornment of a throne purposes to reflect the power of the sitter, the elegance and recline of the Eames proposes to embody a comfortable lifestyle. Here, the chair becomes a status symbol, the position of power or the privilege of leisure.
For the exhibition Sit-In, a cacophonous individuality arises. Vastly distinctive seats have been created, deconstructed, reconfigured and repurposed. Positioned in rows and facing a unified direction, a collective stance arises. Draped curtains provide the suggestion of a backdrop- a gesture of substantiation or revelation of artifice. Sit-in is a theatre of subversion and a revision of what we know.

2018-04-07
On April 7th, Gallery 1261 is proud to present Spaces, an extraordinary survey of both landscapes and cityscape works by four of the gallery’s leading artists. Valerio D’Ospina, Dianne L. Massey Dunbar, Ulrich Gleiter, and Dale O Roberts all come together to showcase their perspectives on the environments we inhabit in their individual styles.

Opening April 7th, K Contemporary is proud to present a solo exhibition for Suchitra Mattai, a multi-disciplinary Denver artist with a growing international reputation. In this show, Mattai will weave a powerful self-portrait of relationships at once intimate and infinite. Mattai’s gifted imagination draws upon a wealth of both memory and history to create compelling works that delight the eye and challenge the intellect. Having personally inhabited landscapes from Guyana to Nova Scotia, from New York to Udaipur, India, and from Minneapolis to the Rocky Mountains, she brings to “Sweet Asylum” a nomad’s perspective on the nature of home.

Kenny Harris, “Modern Vanity,” 2017,
oil on canvas, 30 x 20″

Kenny Harris has made a career out of describing his environment both at home and abroad. He has traveled around the world depicting subject matter both grand and mundane. Travel is a constant pull for this artist, and he has made bodies of work focused on Central America, South America, Italy, France, Cuba, Turkey, China, as well as the US and his backyard of Venice Beach. His oil paintings define a place and mood, changing spaces and cityscapes with a character and resonance from direct observation.
For this exhibition, Harris focused on finding his voice in portraiture through different means. In this new body of work, the artist has turned his inquiry from the depiction of quiet solitary spaces to the interior worlds of his creative peers in Los Angeles. The artist’s friends are shown engaged in activities or contemplation, inviting the viewer to participate in their quiet moments. The environments play a major role in the paintings by supporting the psychological space of the sitter–sometimes the figures even merge with a background or vibrate against it.
I was approaching the portraits with experimentation in mind, exploring the genre in my own voice but without pre-determined methods. The needs of each composition demanded various technical approaches, hence the variety of paint application and scale. I attempted to create portraits that evoke the human experience through a textured surface which is at once illusion and object.

Kim Piotrowski // Heather Marshall // Nina Rizzo

Linda Warren Projects is proud to announce three powerful exhibitions by artists: Kim Piotrowski, Now That the Sky Has Fallen (Gallery Y), Heather Marshall, Memories That Are Not Mine (Gallery X), and Nina Rizzo, Le Lavage (Gallery O).
A compelling painting has no gender, but for these mighty artists their femininity is no docility. Whether it be Piotrowski’s lyrical abstractions, Marshall’s small intimate figure paintings, or Rizzo’s textural abstractions, each of them imbed salient, and at times poignant narratives that are universally human yet deeply personal. Unapologetically creating artwork that reexamines their own fears, histories, and longings, each artist captures vulnerability and masterfully reengineers it into their own source of power and inspiration. The exhibition, as a whole, threads a beautiful ribbon that ties together the aesthetic mastery of each painter and embodies the poetic sentiments that every human relates to no matter which body you live in.
Gallery Y – Kim Piotrowski, Now That the Sky Has Fallen
Piotrowski’s paintings have always danced between abstraction and reference. It is perhaps why the artist, for the first time, has decided to collaborate with literary poet Rose McLarney. Their chance meeting at Hambidge, a creative residency in Georgia

Kim Piotrowski, “Never Easy”, 2017, ink on paper, 13 1/2″ x 9 1/2″

where both artists participated, lent itself the opportunity for a unique creative exchange. In an installation titled “A Door Open,” Piotrowski’s paintings on paper will spar and harmonize willingly with McLarney’s poems. Each poem is a direct response to each painting. The artist’s signature style of controlled chaos is a constant. Piotrowski’s multilayer veils of surface exude an inner energy that is both contemplative and lyrical in nature. The artist seamlessly interchanges and integrates the assertiveness of mark making while considering each line and object that could possibly reference the natural world. Phantomlike landscapes and figures appear and disappear within the paintings. Enigmatic lines and colors push and pull for attention, so much that they wrap around the corners of the paintings, demanding that we consider the mark and allocate recognition. Piotrowski’s process is methodical and unconfined as the paintings themselves – “layers of thin ink washes, scrubbed, and manipulated by time and touch, these passages push against the opacity of forms and gestural lines that create a new dynamic within the picture plane.” The stage is set where even the smallest marks have a role. An orchestrated, abstracted symphony of colors and lines that pursue freedom and the flexibility to exist.
Kim Piotrowski, a Chicago based artist, received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has continued showing in both group and solo exhibitions since 1991. Most recently her work has been featured at Forum Gallery, NYC, Marcia Wood Gallery in Atlanta, GA, and Grolle:Pass:Projects in Wuppertal, Germany. Piotrowski has been the recipient of numerous awards and recognition including the Illinois Arts Council Visual Artist Grant, Artadia Grant and most recently the Sustainable Arts Foundation amongst many others. She has also been artist in residence at Hambidge, Yaddo, Ragdale and Oxbow. This is Piotrowski’s third solo exhibition with the gallery.
Gallery X – Heather Marshall, Memories That Are Not Mine
Marshall’s new series of small, figurative, monochromatic paintings emanate the artist’s introspective spirit and exceptional attention to details. Inspired by the intersection of the ordinary and the extraordinary, Marshall looks to familiar sights, and in this case it is her family. Women taken from her family album are reexamined and decontextualized. The protagonists within

Heather Marshall, “Baby I’m the Baddest”, 2017, oil on panel, 5 5/8″ x 6″

minimal backgrounds tug at different emotions that range from fiercely confident to naively optimistic. Regardless of age each woman asserts her power and lives comfortably within her skin. Although visually from another era, Marshall assigns contemporary pop songs for titles of each painting, alluding to the ceremonial coming of age experience we all traverse through life. The distinct color pallet, with its soft patina like tones, emphasize time not only for the characters but for the artist herself. Each small painting takes lengthy periods of time to percolate and to finally produce. The artist’s impeccable hand and thoughtfulness generate poetic paintings that transcend time. Her ode is not necessarily to the specific woman, but to time herself…always moving but never changing.
Heather Marshall is a Virginia-based artist and educator, and her work has been exhibited in such venues as Hanover College Art Gallery in Indiana, The Snite Museum of Art at University of Notre Dame and Zolla/Lieberman Gallery, Chicago. Marshall received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her MFA from University of Notre Dame. This is Marshall’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery.
Gallery O – Nina Rizzo, Le Lavage
Rizzo’s global travels have informed her practice and cemented a process that is both reactive and imaginative. Drawing from visits to museums and international residencies, the artist pulls from historical cannons that vary from Flemish paintings to Icelandic textiles. While visiting France, Rizzo identified a potential subject matter that felt both mundane yet resembled a sensibility to the non-objective and non illusionistic practices of the geometric abstractionists. Rizzo’s new series of paintings draws from the simple shapes of laundry. Clothes that tumble in a centripetal direction with a set of perimeters based on color and non-objective compositions. Socks, panties, and bras…private items that inhabit her physical proximity deliver a

contradictory dialogue. Paintings with gestural expression and thick textural strokes that over time fade into abstraction. Rizzo’s pictorial transitions explore aesthetic possibilities and give us a glimpse into her private voyeuristic world, one that is genuinely and profoundly personal and records the passage of time and locations. Lavage – cleansing by irrigation or the like – purging.
Chicago-based artist Nina Rizzo has exhibited widely across the globe including such venues as the Association for Icelandic Visual Artists in Reykjavik, Iceland; Megumi Ogita Gallery in Tokyo, Japan; Tinlark Gallery in Los Angeles; E & W Gallery in Santa Fe; Art Palace in Houston; Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge; and Bad Dog Gallery in DeKalb, IL. Rizzo has been the recipient of a number of prestigious artist residencies including one at Chateau de La Napoule, France in 2005 and another in Marnay-Sur-Seine, France called CAMAC in 2014. Others include Ragdale Foundation in Lake Forest, IL; Vermont Studio Center; and Northern Illinois University Summer Research and Artistry Grants in Japan and Iceland and she has also exhibited and had a residency at CRETA in Rome, Italy. The artist received her MFA from The University of Texas at Austin, and her BFA from The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Rizzo is currently Associate Professor in Painting at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL. This is the artist’s fifth exhibition at Linda Warren Projects.

“My jewelry of recent years explores intense iridescent and color-shifting paints used for eye-catching custom jobs on cars. A necklace or earrings come alive when the body is in motion. Tangible movement is implied by the deceptive appearance of collapsing forms, swift color-shifts and the consequences of light.”

MIKI ASAI: FRAGMENTS

March 1st – April 28th, 2018
Miki Asai explores the translucent beauty of seashells, including mother of pearl and eggshells, with glimmering wisps of gold or silver leaf and layered surfaces of Japanese lacquer.
“Miki Asai’s jewellery is inspired by intangible and those fleeting and changeable phenomenon, and how this portrays the nature of everything in the world. Her aesthetics and concept are strongly based on her Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in impermanence, imperfection, transience and ephemerality.
She creates jewellery that captures and preserves momentary beauty to own the fragments of a fleeting world, life and everything.”

DOROTHY FEIBLEMAN
Assorted plates, bowls, tea bowls and sake cups
Plates: Bone china
Bowls, Tea Bowls, Sakazuki: soft paste Parian.
Ms. Feibleman is one of the most important and influential clay artists living today.
These evocative vessel forms are composed of intricately, and often delicately, patterned clay.
“Dorothy Feibleman’s spare porcelain forms — precise and finished to translucent, weightless perfection — elevate the art of pattern making to an extraordinary degree. In Feibleman’s hands, the ancient Japanese technique of nerikomi — in which ceramic objects are decorated with patterns created by combining different, often differently colored, clays — has been reinvented through the introduction of ideas drawn from glassmaking, mosaic art, jewelry making and other disciplines. Obsessively ornamented, with patterns that multiply across their surfaces, Feibleman’s most striking works are reminiscent of objects as diverse as blue-and-white Delftware, central Asian metalwork and printed Indian textiles.” – Scott Norris
Dorothy Feibleman’s new collection of dinnerware includes a functional collection of bone china plates with the artist’s Nerikomi imaging. They are avaiable in’ white on white’ (pictured, the six plates top and bottom), ‘blue on white’ and ‘green and red on white’ patterns.
The matte ‘white on white’ bowls and plates (plates on either end of the table setting, all white bowls) are made from Feibleman’s own crafted clay, a porcelain parian. These matte white Nerikomi plates and bowls are unique depending on how the artist cuts the patterns on the imaging block. The matte Nerikomi plates are spun and compressed by Feibleman and are made by special order. They can also be fabricated in grey or black.
All dinnerware is sturdy and dish washer safe.
The red and green tea bowls and sake cups (also pictured in the center of the table) are one of a kind pieces made by Feibleman with her signature porcelain clay – soft paste parian.

Light and Shadow Merge in Perfect Harmony.

Gary Oakley, ‘Purple Passages,’
Oil on Canvas, 60″ x 60″

Two artists from different worlds with very different techniques will meet in an extraordinary artistic union on March 23rd. Australian artist Danielle Hatherley (now a Boulder resident) and New Mexico artist Gary Oakley will combine their considerable talents in an exhibit hosted by Mirada Fine Art entitled ‘Shadow Shift.’ What makes these two artists a perfect pairing is their mastery at distilling a scene down to its essence. Carefully edited color palettes capture the instance light and shadow meet, shift, are united and merge in gleaming harmony in their contemporary landscapes. “Danielle and Gary seemed like a perfect pairing to me,” enthused gallery owner Steve Sonnen. “They evoke a similar feel, a tranquil yet vibrant mood that epitomizes our Colorado lifestyle and surroundings.”

Danielle Hatherley,
‘Fleeting Moment, Central Park,’
Oil on Canvas, 30″ x 48″

That perfect harmonious moment is what inspires (or as the artist herself admits,’obsesses’) Danielle Hatherley to paint. Danielle grew up trying to capture the spectacular light of Sydney’s harbor and beaches. Recreating a scene, however, soon became not enough for this artist. Capturing the play of sunlight and shadow became her passion. Her move to Colorado with its stunning vistas and sunsets reinvigorated her work. Sunsets, backlit forests and luminous abstracted landscapes leap from her radiant canvasses with unrivaled clarity and tone.

Gary Oakley, ‘Drawing,’
Oil on Canvas, 18″ x 18″

The road artist Gary Oakley has taken in his artistic journey has been long and varied, culminating in his current technique. Capturing the rich hues of the Western landscape within his canvases, Oakley employs unexpected pops of metallic paint and texture. A Geology major with a Master’s in Psychology, Gary began to listen to his ‘inner artist’ in the 1990s, initially becoming a photographer, and later turning his attention to painting. He continues to create compositions of a scene in his mind, seeing the world as if through a camera’s lens and zooming in on essential elements.

The melding of these two artists’ visions are captured in ‘shadow SHIFT,’ kicking off with an artists’ reception on Friday, March 23rd from 6-9pm at Mirada Fine Art.

Kate Gilmore "Morning Rage" - ASPECT / RATIO Projects Gallery
2018-03-15
MORNING RAGE:
KATE GILMORE
02.23.2018 – 04.07.2018
~

Aspect/Ratio is pleased to present Morning Rage, the first Chicago solo exhibition for artist Kate Gilmore.
Morning Rage will introduce new sculptural works, as well as the single channel video Beat It. This video was part of an installation and performance created for the H & R Block Space in Kansas City, Missouri. Michael Jackson’s famous 80’s hit song title is appropriated here, while the video unfolds through an oculus in the sculpture taken from a fixed camera stationed overhead. Throughout the video, the walls of the installation are being dismantled and reconfigured to reveal a series of stenciled text that reads: ‘beat it,’ repeated over and over.
Through the use of repetition and performance, much of Gilmore’s practice demonstrates a resolute transformative process that comes out of destruction. Destruction and dexterity are arsenal for the artist who consistently goes well beyond the limitations of what material is generally prepared to endure. It is with this prowess and fervor that fuel her latest sculptural works. Highly lacquered metal cubes are hammered continuously, creating scars and dismantling their otherwise polished appearance.
Kate Gilmore is a New York multimedia based artist and Associate Professor of Art and Design at Purchase College at SUNY Purchase. Gilmore received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts and Bachelors from Bates College. Her work has been shown at numerous institutions including: Museum of Modern Art, MCA Chicago, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum, ICA Philadelphia and The Rose Art Museum. Notable exhibitions and awards include: The Art Prize 2015; the Whitney Biennial 2010; The Moscow Biennial, Moscow; and PS1 Greater New York 2005 & 2010. Gilmore’s work is included in many public institutional collections: Museum of Modern Art, New York; Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, California; Rose Art Museum, Waltham, Massachusetts; Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indiana, Indianapolis; and Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, Illinois.

Kavi Gupta is pleased to present CHEMICAL SUBLIME, a solo exhibition of original work by Beverly Fishman.
Combining the handmade with the industrial, Fishman employs a variety of techniques to explore technological, scientific, and biological systems of perception and representation, instigating constructive conversations about the ways people see their bodies and minds, and construct their identities. Her most illustrious bodies of work engage with the visual language of the medical industrial complex. For example, her highly-polished Pill reliefs utilize iconic pharmaceutical forms as the basis for seemingly abstract compositions that radiate with color. Her brilliantly complex Dividosepaintings appropriate the unsettling, multilayered, linear aesthetic of medical imaging technologies such as EEG and EKG machines, provoking levels of optical fascination capable of eliciting physiological responses from viewers.
Though seemingly direct, Fishman’s work is daringly open. It poetically kindles the most pressing issues of our time: how humanity sees itself and allows itself to be seen; the extent to which technology alters our perception of ourselves; the choices we face whether to alter our reality or to alter our experience of it. Equally important to its meaning are its formal aspects: its juxtaposition of colors and patterns; its evocative art historical references; its oscillation between abstraction and representation. Of constant primacy is the work’s undeniable exactitude of craft, which elevates its physical presence to heights equal to its enigmatic conceptual depth.
Fishman has relentlessly sought out new materials and processes in order to realize her evolving vision. That search has occasionally yielded opportunities to pioneer new production techniques, always in service to the concepts she is exploring. Her materials list has included traditional supports such as wood, paper, blown glass and aluminum, as well as more unconventional elements like cast resin, mirrored Plexiglass, powder-coated metal and phosphorescent pigments. She also frequently uses mediums like chrome and urethane automotive paint that speak in conversation with the legacy of the Detroit area, where she has lived and worked as the Artist-in-Residence and Head of the Painting Department of the Cranbrook Academy of Art since 1992.
Since earning her MFA from Yale in 1980, Fishman has received multiple prestigious awards, including a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, and an NEA Fellowship Grant. Her work has been written about extensively in the press, including in The New York Times, Art21 Magazine, Hyperallergic, Art Critical and Juxtapose. Her recent solo exhibitions include DOSE, curated by Nick Cave, at the CUE Art Foundation, New York, NY, Pill Spill, at the Detroit Institute of Art, Detroit, MI, and Pharmako, at Galerie Richard, Paris, France.
Work by Fishman is included in multiple private and institutional collections, including that of the Miami Art Museum, the MacArthur Foundation, Alfred Taubman, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Columbus Museum of Art, The Kresge Art Museum, and the Istanbul Art Centre.

You Are Here:
Gregory Block Solo Exhibition
March 14th – May 13th

Modern humans are pretty good at getting from point A to point B, especially with our phones to tell us where to go and how to get there. But we are here. Where’s that?
Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to get the bigger picture; to step back and look at things in context. This series of maps, constructed from aluminum cans and carpet tacks, firmly anchors the viewer in the universe, the Milky Way Galaxy, the solar system, and on earth, and hones in on our very real location amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s a tourist guide, an explorer’s tool, an evacuation plan; a study of civil engineering, geography, astrophysics and the boundaries of human intelligence. But more than anything, it’s a reminder that regardless of where we’re going or where we’re coming from, we are always here.
This exhibition will be on display daily at the SugarCube Building at 1555 Blake St.

Adriana Corral - Unearthed: Desenterrado - Socorro, TX & El Paso, Juárez
2018-03-09
Black Cube Sheds Light on Shadowed Part of
American History, U.S.-Mexico Border Control

March 9 – June 9, 2018

Located in Socorro, Texas

A 60-foot flagpole, hoisting a large-scale white flag adorned with bald and golden eagles, will serve as counter-monument, acknowledging a facility that processed Mexican workers into the U.S. between 1951-1964.
Adriana Corral – Unearthed – Desenterrado
February 27, 2018 – Black Cube’s latest exhibition, Unearthed: Desenterrado, is an outdoor, large-scale artwork by Texas-based artist Adriana Corral. Located within the historic grounds of the Rio Vista Farm in Socorro, Texas, the installation—featuring a solitary 60-foot flagpole hoisting an enormous white, cotton flag—speaks to the deeply rooted history between the U.S. and Mexico. Embroidered on either side of the flag is the illustration of a “Mexican” golden eagle and an “American” bald eagle, each emblematic of their respective nation’s patriotism.
Visible from the El Paso–Juárez horizon from March 9 until June, the flag stands as a counter-monument for the Rio Vista Farm, a facility most notably recognized as a key-processing center for the Bracero Program. The Bracero Program, which was established by the federal government during World War II, is known as one of the largest foreign worker programs in U.S. history. According to finding from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, many people have described the Bracero Program as a period of “legalized slavery” in which Mexican workers “were met with medical and psychological examinations, stripped of their clothing, organized into lines, and fumigated with DDT before they could be evaluated by farming contractors.”
Cortney Lane Stell, Black Cube’s Executive Director + Chief Curator, believes that “by calling attention to this overlooked park of American history, Corral’s work endeavors to stand as an acknowledgement of unknown human rights violations, as well as to inspire deeper conversations about our history —and future—of border control along the U.S.–Mexico border.”
“This project emphasizes the importance of recognizing and confronting the voids within our American history,” Corral adds.
Adriana Corral – Unearthed – Desenterrado
Unearthed: Desenterrado will be on display at the Rio Vista Center until June. During the three-month exhibition, Corral’s flag will become tattered and worn due to inclement weather. After its display in Socorro, the flag will be exhibited in museums and cultural institutions across the country.
About Adriana Corral
Adriana Corral is based in San Antonio, Texas. Her installations, performances, and sculptures embody universal themes of loss, human rights violations, concealment, and memory. Corral employs a rigorous researched based practice where anthropologists, writers, journalists, gender scholars, human rights attorneys, and victims provide her with the foundation for her works.
Corral received her Master of Fine Arts from The University of Texas at Austin and completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Texas at El Paso. In 2016, Corral was invited to attend the 106th session of the Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. She was also selected for the Joan Mitchell Foundation Emerging Artist Grant and was named one of 18 Artists to Watch by Modern Painters.
