What did the Fellowship or Laureate mean to you at the time you received it?
Receiving this Fellowship was an affirmation of my contributions to the visual character of many locations regionally.
What do you do now? Has your art evolved or changed?
My work continues to evolve and change visually because creating artworks in public locations requires me to conceptually address the context of the site. This process influences, inspires, and directs my creative response for the proposed artwork.
What is one piece of advice you would give to an emerging artist?
Briefly, how would you describe the state of the arts locally, as well as national and beyond?
