Splendor: Unfolding Process
Splendor was created at a meditation center located in the small rural town of Springwater, NY.

It is a call to move beyond the limitations of what a white imagination of Blackness is and into the vastness, the complexity, spiritually, and transcendent essence which is the true core of Blackness.”

Review for Hermerica at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts
The curatorial narrative highlights how our collective past is a potent reflection of the persistent issues gripping our country—freedom, respect, race, gender, reproductive health, voting rights, and radical reform remain at the forefront of our social-political landscape.
Hermerica, Kleinert/James Center for the Arts
Hermerica is a multidisciplinary exhibition on the American woman’s journey in history, popular culture, and the artist’s imagination. An investigative mix of art and artifact.
