Best in Show

I was surprised and very excited to receive “Best in Show” at this years Members’ Show with Foto Forum. It’s nice to know that my tired mom art was seen and appreciated by other tired parents!

For those who don’t know, Foto Forum Santa Fe is an amazing non-profit photography space in Santa Fe. They have all the equipment you need to do alternative processes and work in a darkroom! It also happens to be down the street from where I grew up.

And since personally I always want to know how a photograph was made- this was taken and mostly edited on an android phone.

Currents Fundraiser!

For my birthday this year, I am raising money for Currents New Media. I’ve had a wonderful experience this last year being on the Board, and this year’s festival should be even more exciting! Currents is re-committing to local artists for the 2023 festival, with an increased emphasis on performance. There *might* even be an underwater piece at the Chavez Center (🤯). So please consider supporting this fabulous New Mexico Arts organization with me for 2023!

There is a fundraiser on my Facebook page, or you can donate directly to Currents through their website. Or, even consider becoming a Patreon member!

Parallel Studios, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has been producing, curating, and designing small- and large-scale video exhibitions in Santa Fe since 2002. In 2010, we launched CURRENTS NEW MEDIA as an annual, citywide event. The festival brings together the work of established and emerging new media artists, from New Mexico, the United States, and across the world for events showcasing interactive and non-interactive installations, multimedia performances, VR and AR environments, single channel video, animation, experimental documentary, web based/app art forms, robotics and 3D printing. Parallel Studios reaches out to local high and middle school students through its Youth Media Makers Program.
