I recently created work for Sound Transit that will
be installed in 2026 in a cylindrical ceiling structure called
the Cyclorama at the Downtown Bellevue Station. Twenty-six of
my 3 high images will be backlit for a total of 122 linear
feet, 57 on the inside and 65 on the outside of the
structure. The concept is Rush, as in rush hour and
the rush of a thrill. The images, from the Northwest and beyond,
include airborne snow geese, running animals, people on state
fair amusement park rides, and unexpected objects moving through
the cosmos. The inside images will appear to be rushing clockwise
and the outside images counter-clockwise.
In December, I was included in an Art Book Club-sponsored
Fall of Freedom Pop-Up Exhibition at Sollod Studio in Seattle.
It was part of FOFs national events highlighting creative
resistance to authoritarianism.
In the Fall, I was honored to receive a Llewelyn
G. Pritchard Digital Artist Award from Allied Arts Foundation.
This year, I completed a new interior with replenished
live fish for the Harborview Nurse Log, a nurse log aquarium I
designed for Harborview Medical Center through 4Culture.
I was also selected for the Sound Transit Artist
Candidate Pool, the Washington State Public Art Roster, and the
City of Seattle Artist Roster.
It was an honor to be invited to exhibit work at
the Seattle Climate Innovation Hub, a Downtown Seattle incubator
collaboration space to combat climate change, a partnership between
the University of Washington at CoMotion and the City of Seattle.
Several of my pieces were installed there from 2024 to 2025. https://comotion.uw.edu/startups-incubation/comotion-labs/seattle-climate-innovation-hub
In 2023-24, my work was exhibited at The Museum
of Flight in a show that combined art with the concept of flight
- a perfect fit for my work! Here is a Crosscut article about
it:

Simultaneously, I was represented in the exhibition
The First 50 Years of the Seattle Civic Art Collection 1973-2023
at the ARTS at King Street Station Gallery. Approximately 150
pieces in the show represented some highlights of a collection
of over 4,000 artworks.
In 2023, my work and artist statement were published
in Public Display Art, Issue 4, Vol 2, August-Sept 2023. https://publicdisplay.art/magazines-archive
