Fresh A.I.R. Gallery exhibits the work of artists affected by mental illness and/or substance use disorders. Through art, we educate the community and work to break down stigma by bringing focus to the artistic vision. As the U.S. navigates the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and confronts a worsening mental health and addiction crisis, the gallery's mission is more important than ever.

​I wrote a review of the film Kentridge and Dumas in Conversation (https://icarusfilms.com/if-kentr​) for the journal Visual Inquiry

• The scope of the journal is broad and is aimed at facilitating a wide spectrum of perspectives. It is essentially a medium for engaging the rich and multifaceted process of learning and teaching art that takes place in the classroom, studio, and beyond. However, the seriousness of journal is not out weighed by making critical topics accessible and readable to a large constituency of readers. It is a forum to be reflective on the process of creating and teaching art, embrace teaching art in a variety of contexts, engage art appreciation experiences, share scholarship in teaching artistry, and celebrate the rich traditions of art making and teaching.

    • I gave a talk about my research since completing my dissertation in a talk titled "Presentation Title: What happens next: Complicating an already complex research." The title is a self-own making light of how I thrive in complexity, seek complexity, and sustain complexity in my research-artmaking practice.
