Recycle Santa Fe trashion show
Summer art camp!
Over the summer, I was invited to teach two classes at summer art camp at the Harwood Art Center. Both classes were for first and second graders. The first class was textiles and the other class was recycled art. Here are some of the fantastic creations the campers made!
July /August 2022
I had two pieces of art displayed recently.
1.Frida Kahlo themed art show as a celebration of Frida’s birthday. This was my submission.
2.Shades of red art show at the Placitas Community Library.
This art is currently in display at the Placitas community library for the “Shades of Red” exhibition until August 25,2022.
This art represents female menstruation. This still seems like a taboo subject even though 50% of the population encounteres the phenomenon during their monthly cycles. I’d like to destigmatize periods, as they are a really beautiful, magical and interesting process. I think periods should be celebrated as a welcomed part of the female experience.
Epic updates!
There have been many things that happened since my last post! The past several months have been extremely busy with work and school but I have had a little break now!

Harwood Art Center 12×12 fundraiser
I was honored to be invited for the third year to participate in the Harwood 12×12 art show fundraiser. Many local upcoming and established artists are invited to donate 12″x12″ artworks to be purchased at $144.00 each. At the art show, the artist’s names are not labeled on the artwork, so there is a nice surprise factor to the patrons. This year, the art show was virtual, due to the coronavirus. I saw that my piece was purchased already and I’m glad I was able to contribute and participate in supporting this wonderful local arts organization! There are still a few pieces available in the exhibition so go check it out!
