Don't Shoot Me Down! Popup Show

I am so excited to have 2 new pieces in a really cool popup show at Shockboxx in Hermosa Beach, CA. It's called Don't Shoot Me Down, an artful dialogue about guns in American culture, and it's in affiliation with March for Our Lives and the Brady Campaign.

I'm also excited about the work I have in the show.

A million years ago, before I started making abstract paintings and embroideries, I was doing more traditional embroidery. Using a hoop and 'real' stitches and working from patterns (albeit patterns that I created, based on found vector objects.) I haven't known what to do with all of this old work but this was the perfect opportunity to put it to good use. So for this show, I have taken some of my older pieces and combined them with new abstract paintings:
