This is a group show with fellow painters of Group 6, a group of woman painters that I have practiced with since 2008. In this show we reveal some of our more intimate information about our collective and individual practices. Group 6 support each other through group critiques, professional practice advice, emotional and moral support and by offering encouragement through hard times. Thank you Janet Anderson, Jenny Parsons, Mary Visser, Gabrielle Raaff, Thelma Mort and Cathy Layzelle for allowing me to be the unofficial 7th member of Group 6 for all these years.

40 Day Prayer 2018
