Artist-led Guided Tours at Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art

My solo exhibition Our Very Nature, has been up for over a month already! It’s hard to believe, but true. As of mid-June, there are 8 weeks left to see the show when it closes on August 10th. With that in mind, I am offering the following dates when I will be in attendance at the museum for informal guided tours.

Tuesday, June 24, 4 – 7pm: Museum After Hours (free admission!)

Otherwise, general admission is:
Adults 18+: $10

Can’t make any of these dates, but still want to see the show?
The museum’s hours are:

Saturday & Sunday: 1pm-4pm

I had a fabulous time giving my artist talk in late-May and I wanted to provide some additional opportunities to engage with guests and offer insight into the varied media in this exhibition. I spent about two years working on this show, so I am ready to talk about it! In the meantime, here is the write-up from KC Studio and below are a few images:

This show debuts my own fabric pattern, built from five years of scanning numerous wool & thread appliques.
This exhibition also features the most media that I have ever displayed simultaneously, including fiber, sculpture, painting, installation, and poetry.
Horizon: Hand-dyed Shetland sheep & Huacaya alpaca wools, thread, on sculpted foam, 60 x 172.5 x 16″, 2025

Follow me on Insta to catch that, I will be sharing all sorts of things around Our Very Nature: show pics, process and behind-the-scenes pics, videos, you name it!

That’s all for now, I hope to see you out and about and I truly hope you find the time to make it up to St. Joe. I am really proud of the work! In any case, have a safe and happy summer.
