An artists' reception will be held February 2, 5-8pm at the Tompkins County Public Library.

February 2- March 26, 2018
"Embodying the Familiar: Power, identity and representation in woman-centered art" is curated by Kendra Acquavella. She writes that the focus of the show is the way "women 'picture' themselves […]
I noticed a thread of magical realism in the work of most artists I selected, and works that challenged and expanded female roles/expectations."

SOAG Members' Show

Reception: Friday Nov. 6, 5-8pm at State of the Art Gallery

Nov. 4 - 29, 2015
Members of State of the Art got extra space to show their work this past November. I took advantage and showed one of my favorite large charcoal pieces from 2006. I had just moved to Ithaca and didn't have a studio space. I worked on this in my dining room - taped to the wall. It took up so much space and made a ridiculous mess, but it felt so good to start drawing again.
