Art and Empathy: Artist Talk in Phoenix

Join me at FIVE15 Arts in Phoenix this Saturday for a special presentation about  the intersection of art and empathy within an artist's studio practice. I will discuss how I came to work with Yazidis from northern Iraq on a collaborative printmaking project, Conflict Zone and how the project continues to evolve.

Conflict Zone

Thank you ACNV Community Foundation for funding my Conflict Zone project. I am back from Houston where I collaborated with  a group of Yazidi women,  kids and men  who relocated from Iraq. In early March we came together at the University of Houston printmaking facilities where I asked the groups to create monotypes about their daily lives. I will be showing their work on Saturday and Sunday Aprill 21 and 22nd from 11 to 4 in my Napa studio. 1830 Soscol #D.
