Recent Projects

Since 2012 I’ve been playing with cardboard and paper mache paste with the Street Creature Puppet Collective. We show up for the WNC community with creative surprises and delights – like this at the candlelight vigil after Helene. Here’s a story about our struggle to find affordable studio space

Since 2018 I’ve been working with the brilliant fringy weirdos of the Asheville Fringe Festival, helping to produce this week long showcase of strange and wonderful work that lies outside the mainstream. Save the dates for 2025, March 16 – 23.

In fall 2021 I initiated and helped organize the Hominy Rising exhibit of temporary art installations and site specific performances at the Hominy Creek Greenway in West Asheville.

In spring/summer of 2022 I wrote and directed a puppet play for families called The Earth is Alive! based on Josh Fox’s songs about Appalachian plants.

I was the March 2022 artist in residence at Revolve Gallery in Asheville, and the January 2023 artist in residence at the Aquarium Gallery in New Orleans.

I taught two community mosaic workshops in the summer of 2023, supported by grants from ArtsAVL and the Burners Without Borders. At the Southside Community Farm we made pavers for the farm. At 12 Baskets Cafe we created a set of garden stairs. See pictures on the mosaics page and a story about it here.

I had an installation at the Warren Wilson College Farm in November of 2024 as part of the How Do We Mark the Flood? happening. It was a day of art and community healing from the Helene disaster.
