I was honored to be invited to participate in the ISM- 10 year anniversary exhibition. Each artist was asked to illustrate a word ending in _ism, or to define our own _ism. I chose naturalistic pantheism, for it is the _ism I felt most connected to. The core of naturalistic pantheism is reverence and respect for nature and the wider universe.
The show was held at the Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana, CA.

My painting for CAW's 'Strands' show at the Carnegie Gallery at the Columbus Metropolitan Library. The show featured visual and performance art about hair, fibers, DNA and other “strands.” The theme made me recall a simple string game, called cat's cradle that I used to play with my mom. In researching the origins of the game I found "versions of this game have been found in indigenous cultures all over the world"
