VOGUE KNITTING LIVE: One weekend every January, Times Square is a magnet for fans of fiber art. The publication Vogue Knitting hosts three days of classes, marketplaces, fashion shows and the opportunity for this vast community of fiber freaks to come together. It has been an honor and a pleasure to participate as a featured artist to this amazing event several times. For days, there are no strangers, we are all friends, able to dive right into conversations about my favorite things : colors, textures and patterns. This community is so inspiring and I am grateful to be part of it.
SOLID SOUND FESTIVAL: Mass MoCA is host to Wilco’s three day art, music, storytelling and comedy festival. I’ve been a featured artist for this event twice, and it is a true joy for me. I love bringing my Airstream Studio and welcoming guests in to see where the magic happens, and participate in art making. This festival attracts such kind folks of all ages. I can hardly wait for the next one to see my best Solid Sound buddy, Toby From Detroit.
WASSAIC PROJECT: Living in the rural Northeast has it benefits. The gorgeous rolling Appalachian Mountains, amazing farms and food, and some freaking cool art happenings. Like the Wassaic Project, nestled in the little hamlet of Wassaic, NY, also known as the last stop on the Metro North from NYC.
The Wassaic Project's home in an old grain mill, and is 7 stories stacked with emerging contemporary art. It is always worth the adventure to this super cool venue. I was honored to be included in this exhibition.
