Mixed Media and Installation Artist
Thanks to pandemic protocols, images from Nottingham Contemporary (UK) exhibition about Grace Jones are online.
See the exhibit HERE.
Ive always loved Grace Jones for her fully unapologetic self expression. She is a true original.
“If You are Lonely When You are Alone, You’re in Bad Company”
Grace Jones
I was first taken with Jacob Hashimoto images on Pinterest and found myself collecting his works for my inspiration board over and over again.
So imagine how tickled I was to learn TSGNY was hosting a virtual artist talk with him this Fall.
I had many questions about how he assembles his kites, the materials he uses and how he transports his large installation works. He answered all this and more.
It was an illuminating and inspiring talk. See for yourself…
Learn how I developed my artistic self-expression as a means of art therapy.
Get inspired to embrace your creativity and your art, in whatever form feels right to you while enjoy an intimate tour of my art studio and current works in progress.
See you on Sunday, January 10, 2021, for a journey into personal creativity.

I am an artist, craftivist and community builder.
I work lives at the intersection of memory and textile.
I prefer used and found fabrics and recycled materials that have object histories.
I am drawn by the ability of fiber and handwork to build communities and increase awareness of social/political issues.
I need plastic bags; produce bags, grocery bags, newspaper bags all sorts of plastic bags wanted.
If you you have a stash of plastic bags and are willing to part with your bounty of bags, I would be most grateful. I can use them for an installation project. I am weaving plastic bags and 500 feet of hollow braid polyethylene rope into Prayer Flags.
Recycle those bags into art. Accepting donations at Sky Garden Gallery 150 Bay Street, PH9, Jersey City NJ 07302
I have been working on a big beaded bag, bit by bit over the last couple months. It is still not done I have to finish the shoulder strap and sew on 1000 pony beads.
The making of Morning Dew…
Southern trees bear a strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black body swinging in the Southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant South,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh,
And the sudden smell of burning flesh!
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for a tree to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.
