Happy Saturday, everyone! Yesterday, I dropped off this glass coral at the gallery located in
Did you know The Sea Of Cortez is some 200 miles southwest of Tucson and is major influence on our local climate? It actually provides moisture that brings life to most desert species. It is also home to coral reefs which are crucial for supporting a vast array of marine life. It’s so refreshing to know this as a person who has lived most and her life near the ocean and now calls Tucson home.
Let me know if you want me to make you one! I have been making these glass corals for over 15 years now!

Happy Saturday, everyone! A week from today I will be in New Haven, CT, celebrating the opening of the exhibit All At Once-Reflected Through Glass! A big thank you to curator Rigoberto Luna for inviting me to be part of it! The opening reception will be at the NXTHVN campus, March 8th, from 1pm-5pm, 169 Henry St., New Haven, CT. Hope to see you there!

Exhibiting artists are Angela Babby, Layo Bright, Cheryl Derricotte, Einar & Jamex De la Torre, Timo Fahler, Salvador Jiménez-Flores, Titus Kaphar, Patrick Martinez, Perla Segovia, and more.

Exhibit runs through May 18th, 2025.

All At Once, Reflected Through Glass showcases the artistic practice of glass as a medium of resistance. Utilizing the medium for critical and transformative storytelling, the artists’ works reflect on social issues and inequities while connecting with personal and collective histories, creating a space for dialogue within a complex multicultural world. Together, these textured expressions invite viewers to engage with their respective messages, consider their broader social context and challenge the traditional, predominantly white narratives of glassmaking.

This exhibition revisits the industrial legacy of New Haven’s Dixwell neighborhood, centering on NXTHVN’s campus. Once home to H. Puddicombe & Company (a manufacturer of art and leaded glass from 1920 to 1945) and the Macalaster Bicknell Company (a key producer of laboratory equipment and glassware from the 1940s to 2012) this building is a relic of Dixwell’s manufacturing past, before its adaptive reuse and establishment as an arts incubator in 2019. Blending the history of glass production with NXTHVN’s mission to disrupt the art world’s status quo, this exhibition highlights resistive and radical art-making through glass.
