Moment 806 Pendulum with Candle, gold-toned silver gelatin chemigram with recycled wood from Lakewood Cemetery, 21 x 49 inches, unique 1/1, 2025

The Art of Giving 2025 | Grand Forks Curling Club pop-up exhibition

September 11, 2025 in Exhibitions

New work for The Art of Giving (TAG) — opening 5 PM, Sept 19 at the Grand Forks Curling Club, Grand Forks, ND. This one-night pop-up features regional artists with work for sale; 30% of proceeds benefit the North Dakota Children’s Museum. I’ll have over 30 pieces available — my favorite art night of the year.

As a middle-aged artist, this project feels like a mirror: it reflects the stories beneath the soil and my own reckoning with time. There’s vulnerability in admitting how much lies beyond my control — and, within that impermanence, a strange freedom.
