As April begins, I’m making progress on several of my ongoing projects. One of these, the “Patience” project, is evolving as I grapple with the ongoing crisis of gun violence in our society. With news of yet another shooting seeming to come every day, it can be difficult to know where to begin in addressing this issue. However, I remain committed to creating art that inspires conversation and action around gun safety.

To that end, I invite you to visit this link to learn more about gun laws in our country and explore options for taking action: https://giffords.org/lawcenter/gun-laws/

Thank you for your support and engagement on this important issue. Let’s work together to build a safer and more just society.

As the snow melts away in Vermont, the test sculpture for my “Patience” project is slowly being revealed once again. This sculpture has endured a harsh winter, and its resilience speaks to the durability and longevity of the materials and techniques that will be used in the final artwork. I’m excited to continue working on this project and to bring it to communities across the country, sparking conversations about gun safety and the need for change.
