Some of the artists from Not Shockboxx’s show on the art of activism will be present online to talk about our work. You can RSVP here to get the Zoom link.

From Not Shockboxx about the show: “Protest: The Art of Activism is a group exhibition centered on the urgent need—not just the desire—to resist systems, policies, and power structures that cause harm. This show exists in direct response to what is happening in America and other places around the world, as people take to the streets to defend bodily autonomy, human rights, immigrant lives, queer and trans existence, racial justice, and collective freedom.

Artists: Adam Mazy, Adèle French, Alison McMahon, Annika Simmons, Armelle Vervialle Ngo, Barig Nalbantian, Barry Jordan, Carol Blum, Caroline Avent, Claudia Berman, Corinne Humphrey, D Hobson, Dar San Agustin, David Mack, David Schwittek, Debbie Novak, Devon Sharon, e . y .  reilly, Emily Tanaka, Eryn Lewis, Eva Benedikt, Francis Ybanez, Francziska Steagall, Gin Lin, Gregory young, James Frost, James Thatcher, Janet Day, Jeanne May, Jen Dohner, Jennifer Myhre, Jennifer Wilkens, Jeremy Woodard, Jesse Aldana, Jessica Teckemeyer, Joanna Biondolillo, John Fleissner, Joma Geneciran, Judy Polstra, Karen Joy, Kathleen Fietz, Keith Kurlander, Kerry Sclafani, Kevin Perrault, Kim Stuart, Kimberlee Koym-Murteira, Kina Lee, Matthew Plaza, Meghan Quinn, Michael Usher, Michelle Victoria, Nick Shattuck, Peter Ashlock, Peter Sandback, Remedios Rapoport, Rhonda Urdang, Ron Romain, Sadie Duthu-Glover, Sarah Sipling, Sean Colella, Silvana D'Mikos, Stephanie Albion, Therese Verner, Tracy Murphy, Vince Quevedo, Wendy Nyx”

Come explore both how you can use stencils in a variety of mediums and how to make your own stencils. If you feel intimidated by art making, this workshop will offer you creative skills you can try in your own home using accessible materials to make cool things. Perfect for beginning and returning students. All materials to use in class will be provided.  However, you are encouraged to bring any images that include interesting shapes that are personally meaningful to you. 

Maybe an adult told you when you were a child that your drawing was terrible or thought the dog you drew was a dinosaur. Maybe, like me, you never had any exposure to arts during your K-12 education. No matter what’s got you intimidated, I can offer you experiences with art-making that are playful and empowering, but also offer clear guidance on tools and techniques to get you started.  We’ll focus on things you can try in your own home using accessible materials, with a lot of scaffolding and an embrace of mistakes.  It’s hard to feel fear and despair when you’re actively making things!  You can take these workshops stand-alone or as a series.  Everything You Need to Know You Learned in Kindergarten focuses on collage and mark-making. In this special Valentine’s Day edition of the workshop, you are welcome to make your own Valentine’s Day card. Sign up at the Art Paint Draw website.

Join the Fall of Freedom Sedona event on Saturday November 22 from 9:30am-11:30am in the New Room at 110 Indian Cliffs Road.  Earlier this fall, a group of artists made an urgent call to the arts community to unite in defiance of authoritarian forces and threats to free expression in a nationwide weekend of creative resistance called Fall of Freedom.  Here in Sedona and the Verde Valley, we will read poetry together aloud for celebration and solace. If you don’t have a favorite, there will be choices available for you when you arrive. And then we’ll get our hands dirty to make a banner together. Whether you are an artist or not, you are welcome.  Bring a friend.  If you believe that art matters and is a threat to fascism, join this national expression of creativity.  RSVP here. This event is free.

One of my collages, The Words They Told Us We Cannot Use, was chosen for an exhibit of works on paper at the Alexandre Hogue Gallery in Tulsa Oklahoma, juried by Mary Weaver Chapin, PhD, the Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Portland Art Museum. The exhibit runs from September 4 through October 16.

Two of my collages are in A Show of Resistance at First Studio Gallery in Phoenix, one on the wall and one in the digital gallery. The AZ Arts Alliance writes about the show, “Art has long been a force for revolution, reflection, and reform. A Show of Resistance, opening June 2, 2025, at First Studio Gallery, is a powerful testament to the role artists play in shaping conversations, confronting injustice, and imagining a more equitable future. This bold, multi-artist exhibition—presented in partnership with Arizona Art Alliance—features 80 compelling works selected from over 200 submissions nationwide. The artwork spans a range of media, styles, and voices, unified by a common thread: resistance. Whether addressing personal battles or global challenges, the selected artists use their creative expression as both mirror and megaphone, inviting viewers to engage, reflect, and act.” The show will be up from June 2 through August 29th. The closing reception is Friday August 1st from 5-9pm. Visit the virtual gallery here. Outside of the closing reception (August 1), the gallery is open by appointment—please contact FirstStudioGallery@gmail.com.
