OTHER EXPERIENCE

The site specific installation, "She's Got the Whole World in Her Hands"has been completed. My gratitude to Dr. Cathy Berry
for supporting my artistic endeavors, to the beautiful mamas of her practice and the mamas of NY for standing proudly, and to the babies for shining so brightly from within.

* Many thanks to The Burnes Group for donating picture frames and to Computerz Central for donating disks to the project!
