She is a 2021 Guggenheim Fellow and a Louis Comfort Tiffany Award winner.
During her 2022 stay at MacDowell, she worked on a series of colorful, painted collages titled “Sleeping Giant.” These works on paper, along with corresponding textile-based paintings, will be part of a solo project at the Armory Show, NYC 2022 curated by Carla Acevedo-Yates and exhibited with Carrie Secrist Gallery.
