I am deeply honored to have been invited to exhibit my work in A Celebration of Trees at the Jamestown Arts Center.

For this exhibition, I created Radiant Tree of Life, a large-scale textile work that explores growth, resilience, and the rich power of transformation and self expression. Rooted in the female form and expanding outward in vibrant, branching fabrics and threads, the piece reflects the ways we are both grounded and ever-evolving. Butterflies and leaves move through the composition as symbols of change, while color and intense thread painting reflect light, energy, and renewal.

This work is both personal and universal. I experienced a deep sense of meditation on what it means to have courage, commitment, faith, and joy and to radiate from within. I am grateful to share it as part of this beautiful collective honoring the enduring presence and symbolism of trees. Highlighting the works of 15+ artists from Southern New England and around the globe, whose unique stories to trees inspire us all to look more closely at our relationship with the tree world. Artwork mediums included painting, mixed media, photography, sculpture, film, poetry, and more.
