 EXHIBITIONS

Since 1970 I have participated in over 200 regional and national juried exhibitions.  These have been at museums or galleries in 27 American States, Canada, Mexico, England, France, and Israel.

During this time my work has been honored with awards on 64 occasions.  The most recent being an Honorable Mention at Woven Works 2008; a national exhibition of non-traditional woven items held at the Fitton Center for the Creative Arts in Fairfield, OH.  

Two items of mine will be included in the Toledo Area Artists 92nd Annual Exhibition at the Toledo Museum of Art, July 9 - August 22, 2010.  This is Ohio's oldest juried exhibition that attracts work from all of northwestern corner of the state.
