I have been included in the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Institute for Studies in Canadian Art at Concordia University's Craft & Craftivism: A Biographical Dictionary of Contemporary Ceramic, Fibre, and Glass Artists in Canada. This is a free, three-volume e-publication co-edited by Loren Lerner, Janice Anderson, Shannon Stride, and Karine Antaki. It features professional biographies of nearly 350 artists with an emphasis on the artists’ works in relation to materials, techniques, processes, creative inspiration, and artistic vision. Also featured are artists who blend craft with activism, using their works to convey social and political commentary, challenge the status quo, and advocate for change.

For the month of October, 2025, as part of the Sointula Art Shed Residency, I will be an artist in residence at the Rebakah Pesicka's Sointula House on Malcom Island in BC. I will be working on drawings, paintings and embroideries for the 'Plasticarium' a replica herbarium created for the study and re-presentation of plastic objects, found at the edges of the land.

The exhibition 'Staycation' curated by Riva Symko, opens October 22, 2025. Through a focused selection of Manitoban artworks from the last fifty years, the exhibition invites viewers to experience their surroundings through new eyes—offering both a playful escape and a grounded sense of belonging. This iteration of the exhibition will be divided into a selection of distinct thematic sections exploring subjects like place, representation, collecting, the macabre, signs and symbols, spirituality, and materiality.

My artwork is included in Art Alive, a resource for educators K-12 created by Mentoring Artists for Women's Art. Art Alive showcases the work of Manitoba women and non-binary artists, and features a variety of styles, mediums and themes relevant to all subject areas. Selected for their ability to engage and inspire young learners, the artworks encourage curiosity, close observation, meaningful dialogue, in-depth research and creative artmaking.

Join me at the Manitoba Craft Council on Friday June 7th from 5pm to 8pm for a guided tour of the exhibition and a net making netted lace demonstration. Guided tours are scheduled for 5:30 and 7:30pm.

Organized by artist Kristin Nelson, of the current exhibition "Visible Labour" at the Comox Valley Art Gallery, and led by Aidan Smith, this net making workshop was presented via Zoom on April 17, 2021. The workshop came out of a desire to collectively make, and of a continued curiosity around nets as an object rich in meaning and use value.
