2024
I will be traveling to Chile for 3 months this fall 2024 (spring in Chile).
I will vote from there and send my sealed vote to Jackson County before November 5th.
I expect to take a new reflective view from my native country as well as a distant view of United States in this controversial political and social environment.
I will enjoy the printmaking community of Valparaiso, a very active community, and I plan to share studio time, exchange practices and ideas with artist friends.

Women’s Voices 4: Pushing Boundaries
February 6th – May 10th
Using visual art as a motivator, this exhibit expresses how women in our region use art to channel their voices to open the viewers mind to their day-to-day influences. Influences that frequently inspire profound emotions that accumulate in the artist’s creative energy. Reflecting each artist’s unique circumstances and giving insight into what drives their creative process.
