"Springtime Fanfare" is a celebration of Spring and everything Spring represents: flowers, rebirth, and love. These nineteen pieces are created using hand-cut stained glass, ceramic tiles, re-purposed jewelry, glass beads, and metal findings adhered to treated wood panels.

"New Awakening" is inspired by a life-changing experience. This show features a series of mixed media floral mosaics focusing on positive images that inspire joy.

Inspired by research for my book entitled Good Luck Charms and Protective Amulets: Their Meanings and Origins, the exhibit "Shrines" is a body of work focusing on icons, idols, symbols, and mundane objects that have been bestowed with meaning throughout history due to the different cultures surrounding them.

“Inclusion” is not a traditional visual art show. It is a tactile exhibit meant for all of us. It attempts to integrate artistic stimulants that accommodate and appeal to both aural/visual communicators and visual/bodily-kinesthetic communicators while encompassing subject matter that relates to the human condition as a whole. The intention of this exhibit is to communicate through art with as many people as possible, including those who would normally not attend an art show. Touching is encouraged.
