2024: Deering Estate Artist-In-Residence

Special thanks goes to Rangsook Yoon Ph.D., Senior Curator at the Sarasota Art Museum, for writing a curatorial essay for the catalog "Cumulative Nature" produced by Valley House Gallery in conjunction with my show "On-Sitefulness".

Wonderful to be selected as a 2024 Artist-In-Residency at the amazing Deering Estate in south Miami. The AIR Program offers professional visual, literary, performing, and cross-disciplinary artists the opportunity to pursue innovative projects and studio work, connect with other artists, and engage the public while interacting with the historical, architectural, intellectual, archeological, and natural elements of the Estate’s inspiring environment.

2024: Artist-In-Residence at University of Miami

During my spring Scholar/Artist-In-Residence period at University of Miami, I was able to flush out and prototype a small version of my "Re-Collecting Roig" project that focused on the over 500 specimens collected by Juan Tomas Roig that are currently in the New York Botanical Garden's Steere Herbarium. This research and developing works were initially funded by my 2021 Guggenheim Fellowship in the Creative Arts with additional support and thanks to South Arts- for a 2024 Career Opportunity Grant.
