About my artwork
I produce project-based cultural programming that energizes personal experience of public space, while creating new precincts of art, community, and knowledge.

My goal is to renew a sense of meaningful connectivity to the world around us. I do this by launching original living projects that combine a colorful array of cultural information, visual art, and community resources. Many of my projects include Contemporary Artists from around the globe, and may involve participants or forms existing outside of the arts field. The results provide an interdisciplinary art experience that is participatory, challenging, and accessible to wide audiences.

Through a nexus of innovative artistic strategies and expanded educational resources, I am able to inspire community involvement, spark person-to-person dialogue, and broaden cultural awareness of a myriad of possibilities regarding art and public life.

Hi Elliott - I enjoyed reading your profile and looking through your photos. I see that you have an interest in atypical art and wondering what you thought of some of the works I have posted. I love assemblage and collage ---I have several very large works in progress that I hope to paint soon. I also have some really interesting repurposed sculpture. Any input or feedback is greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Rosemary
