Me: Over the moon! My photos were selected for the Newport Art Museum Biennial Exhibition!!! I’m beyond honored and thrilled.   What started as a photoshoot for @calypsabymodli and Linda Wells (she co-created a capsule collection) turned into an exploration of water: its force, its beauty, its transformative power. I love the way water alters shapes. I love the way the body rises through water. The way the skin ripples. The way water sheers off the body and creates its own forms, its own aura.   The exhibition opens today but its snowing so opening reception is February 11th and runs through May 29th. It’s such a huge honor to have my work join such outstanding artists. This year’s biennial celebrates our resilience and creativity. It’s time to find beauty and hope!   Thank you Newport Art Museum! You made someone (me) very very happy.
