"To Be Seen And Celebrated"
Solo exhibition of 130+ eye portrait commissions painted and exhibited at the Metropolitan, Charlotte. Proceeds went to benefit the Brookhill Vision Fund, a fund established to give the residents of Brookhill Village (one of Charlotte's oldest Historically Black and systemically under-resourced neighborhoods) eye exams and updated corrective lenses.
January - February 2020.
Helped to raise over $98,000 for Planned Parenthood Southeast by designing wearable fashions using over 2,000 of everyone's favorite prophylactic. Belongs in private collection.
Using 20,000 public-submitted, handwritten acts of kindness, from which 10 selected artists created projects. Over two community days with students, we wove the acts of kindness into different forms. I made two wearable dresses inspired by the idea of "what would we look like if we wore the acts of kindness and the way we treated people?".
