The commissioned projects are on exhibit at the museum's gallery in Paros, Greece, June 12-Oct 1, 2026.
I am presenting a collaborative film project (with my colleagues Meg Cook and Courtney Starrett) at this year’s Sustainable Darkroom Conference in UK. This year’s theme is (un)sustainable photography. My film “Sun Mapping” will also be featured at the conference exhibition.

The 10-minute video, an animation of over 25 still images of the Gulf Coast landscape, was created using pinhole cameras and other experimental techniques. The project was originally created for The Corpus Cristi Port Authority Building in TX. Audio was recently added in collaboration with Sherman Finch. We are looking forward to sharing this work with an international audience!

PERSIST RESIST COEXIST is a group exhibition celebrating women rights. My work on view is from a new series called “Time Scraps from the Universe”, where I am repurposing old photo projects, materials, and scraps from my studio to make new works in collage, stop-frame animation, and installation. Through the act of self-reflection and connecting common threads, I am thinking about creativity as an iterative loop or spiral, in which recontextualizing the past can foster reinvention or forge alternative pathways. The small pieces in the show function as sketches for potential larger works.
Virtual Opening Reception and Artists Talks: TBA
