Festivals & Exhibitions
Festival Projects are bright and colorful installations often associated with a festival or event where the public is invited to participate in an associated craft activity, developed by the artist, that highlights the art form presented. On the other hand, Exhibitions Projects are art installations that depict a natural phenomenon or form with the purpose of expanding people’s awareness of nature’s visual bounty. Whether installed within a gallery type space or out in the landscape, observed natural processes are spotlighted through the use of both natural and man-made materials in the construction.

"My sculptural environments are aesthetically pleasing site-specific artworks that connect nature and culture by employing the three legacies for regenerative and sustainable design of (1) environment: natural systems, (2) education: experiential systems, and (3) engagement: cultural systems. By using a variety of art media and fabrication methods to create sculptural open spaces that are intended to support personal rejuvenation and inspiration, my sculptures provide venues for environmental learning and community celebration.”
