Please join me at the Arc Gallery in the University of Alaska Consortium Library, Friday, November 16, 4:30 – 7PM. My first all-prints solo show features 15 works, 13 of which have never been shown in a public space. Many were completed in the last few months. The show’s title, Wily Women and Other Survivors, has everything to do with how we are all living in interesting times. I would be thrilled to see you there!
