Guest Artist at Ranch Style
Besides being an amazing retail shopping experience, part of Ranch Style's mission is to incorporate fine art installations and trunk shows, which will range from jewelry and accessories to bespoke brands not represented in big-box retail stores. I was launched over the moon when they asked me to be their Guest Artist for May 2026!

Ranch Style
A new collaboration began in 2026 when I was contacted by Ranch Style, a fabulous store in Page, AZ, asking if I would be interested in having my pieces available in their gorgeous shop - I mean, just look at the chandeliers!!! My response? A resounding HECK YEH!!!

Mountain Artists Guild
I am proud to be a member of Mountain Artists Guild of Prescott, AZ. Founded in 1949, the Guild plays a major role in the Northern Arizona visual arts community, including holding several festivals, juried competitions, and exhibits each year. In 2022, I was awarded First Place for my entry in the exhibit, "From Earth To Table," and in 2024 I was honored with a First Place showing in the "Mile High Moments" exhibit.

Creators Collection at Grand Canyon
In December 2023, I applied and competed to be an artist with the Creators Collection at Grand Canyon, and was thrilled to be selected in January 2024. My pieces are currently being shown and sold at two gift shops on the Grand Canyon's South Rim, and will soon be available in their online store.
I strive to make these pieces relevant to the visitor's trip to this natural wonder. The colorways I use reflect the vivid hues of the Grand Canyon: reds, browns, and oranges represent complex geologic layers; shades of green depict sage and pine found at the Grand Canyon's North and South rims and the Colorado Plateau Region; yellow pigments portray the brilliant Arizona sun; and turquoise hues symbolize the waters of Havasupai Falls and jewelry crafted by Grand Canyon Tribes. Stylized flowers, feathers, and leaves represent the rich variety of the Grand Canyon's flora and fauna. UPDATE: Very excited to continue the collaboration with the Creators Collection at Grand Canyon into the 2026 season! If you find yourself at the Grand Canyon's South Rim this summer, stop by and check them out!

Grand Circle Arts Alliance
I am thrilled to announce another new collaboration! I am now a member of the Grand Circle Arts Alliance, a non-profit organization in Page, AZ that promotes art and culture in the Grand Circle area, and I delivered several pieces in May 2025 to be included in their Gallery! I lived and worked for the National Park Service at Lake Powell and Page in the 1980s, and this area will always be part of my very soul - especially because my daughter was born here. I'm honored to be part of GCAA - and just wish I could be in Page more often to be more involved in supporting this incredible Alliance! If you visit Lake Powell, you absolutely must visit the GCAA Gallery at 71 S. 7th Avenue in Page and see the beautifuly diverse works created by their member artists.
