My paintings, DEEP SPACE & GATHERING ROSES, were both in the "Gatherings Project, " exhibitions in the fall of 2020. The Gatherings Project is an art and poetry based project that experiments with a cycle of giving and receiving. The project began with 51 professional artists (making a total of 56 boxes), and 53 poets contributing original poems. Artists created their art on handcrafted wooden boxes. Poets have written original poetry for inclusion inside the boxes. The profits from sales of the Gatherings boxes have been be donated to the following arts organizations designated for relief funds for creatives:
$25,000 to Artist Trust $25,000 to Idaho Commission on the Arts https://gatheringsproject.com/about
