The Sun Magazine

I am in the September Issue of The SUN Magazine.  A portrait of demolition derby driver, Lightning, at the Dodge County Fair in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.  

ABC Sunprints

I made alphabet Sunprints (cyanotypes) with my son for an exhibit called Tot Art.  Tot Art & our Cheerios Alphabet Sunprints are featured on Studio 10 this morning. Check out the video! It will be on exhibit at the Eastern Shore Art Center in Fairhope, Alabama until July 28.

Community Service Learning

The Peace Corps Fellows Program at Teachers College, Columbia University recently hired me to photograph eight different service learning projects at NYC public schools in Brooklyn, Manhattan & the Bronx. It was a fascinating assignment watching passionate students engage in meaningful service learning experiences. This image of Brooklyn high school girl in a contemporary issues class is one of my favorites from the eight shoots.

Breasts Feeding

Honored to be a part of this great exhibit that opens today. My image, Breasts Feeding, is a hand printed silver gelatin photograph from the series entitled The Women Left Behind.

ABOUT BAC

WHO WE ARE
We are the arts council for the borough of Brooklyn. We bring leadership and energy to every part of Brooklyn’s arts scene, supporting and connecting it all. It doesn’t matter where you fit into the arts—artist, audience member, participant, venue, educator or supporter—we want you to create and experience the arts in every neighborhood of Brooklyn.

What drives us? Our impassioned belief in the intrinsic value of the arts and artists, as well as what they can do. Art has a unique ability to bridge cultures, inspiring positive transformation in individual lives and entire communities.

WHAT WE DO
BAC gives grants, presents free and affordable arts events, trains artists and arts professionals, teaches students, incubates new projects and promotes artists and cultural groups across our borough. Brooklyn’s cultural anchor since 1966, BAC has also been the catalyst helping the arts community grow. We continually evaluate and evolve what we do to meet the changing times, and keep our commitment to community engagement, diversity and inclusion when it comes to the arts in our borough.
