Lucid Dreams April 8 - May 21, 2011
I was born in Fairfax Virginia and spent my childhood in the suburbs of Washington DC, the mountains of West Virginia, and the gulf coast of Florida. After receiving my MFA from the University of Central Florida, I established a studio on a family farm in the Appalachian Mountains.
My fascination with marmots or groundhogs as they are more commonly known originated with my move to the “Con Place”, the family farm settled six generations ago in Ashe County, North Carolina. Groundhog spotting from the front porch has been a shared family pastime that I fell into without any hesitation and has inspired my most recent Megalomarmot series.
I hear Marmot is the new Chicken.
