ARTIST TALK!

Thank you to everyone who was able to make it to the artist talk for my solo exhibition, “ZEBRA INTELLIGENCE”. I enjoyed sharing the ways walking through life on an uneven path has informed my current body of work. Click the link below to watch the recording on YouTube. Kudos to Melannie Chard, Director of M Contemporary Art for moderating!
