Best of 2022: Top 5
All things considered 2022 was a good year. Here are a couple highlights for me…
I met so many wonderful people at ExpoChicago at my booth, I am still on endorphin high from my visit to the windy city.
I spent most of my Summer with Art Crawl Harlem at Governors Island and can not wait to do it again this year with a new interactive installation.
It was so fantastic to hang with old friends and new, at my solo art show at Ivy Brown Gallery in the meatpacking district.
Being recognized by ADWeek and my peers for my innovation was surprise and trill for me.
And lastly…. my emotional baggage carts made with Fresh Direct bags were mentioned in the NY Times and got picked up by ArtNet News.
FreshDirect, But Make It Fashion
My Emotional Baggage Carts were featured in New York Times article as one of the inventive examples of designers upcycling and turning FreshDirect plastic totes into trendy accessories and art.
ArtNet News even mentioned my Emotional Baggage Carts sculpture series, addressing the pressures of the pandemic that produced such a surplus of Fresh Direct delivery bags in the first place.
