Silver Water Collective - Sterling Presence Redux

July 2022 - We are so excited to announce our next SWC exhibition, Sterling Presence Redux, at Patch & Remington (@patchandremington) in Marcellus, MI.

August 5 - September 10, 2022

Opening Reception:

Friday, August 5, 5-8pm

History, memory, identity, time, decolonization, and perception are explored in the exhibition Sterling Presence Redux featured at Patch & Remington from Silver Water Collective. Each featured artist employs a particular process and technique that challenges the boundaries of traditional photography in her work.

While each artist comes from a unique experience and perspective, photography helps them to communicate their shared internal struggles as women in contemporary society and art.

SCAD Atlanta Digital Screens - Public Art

June 2022 - One of the most beautiful adventures of the drive home from Savannah after graduation was being able to stop and see the digital screens at SCAD Atlanta. The six digital screens featured ten foot tall images from The Untended Garden for 15 minutes each on rotation along with four other SCAD artists. We were selected by the curators at SCAD Art Sales and Paula Wallace, the president of SCAD, for this public art exhibition throughout the month of June.

This was an incredible way to culminate my experience as a SCAD MFA student. I can’t wait for more potential collaborations with public art and SCAD in the future!

Hilariously, I was able to take an image in the same exact position that was in during my MA in Arts Administration graduation six years ago. Behold - the glorious evidence of a double masters!
