Lately I’m finding myself intrigued with giving some of my older work new life. Re-edits and renderings into charcoal or colored pencil drawings and adding a stronger sense of movement the original photograph may not have exaggerated enough for my liking.

Which do you prefer, the colored or gray scale render?

Has it already been 13 years since launching my professional page? Time certainly dances fast while sharing my work with wonderful people.

To every person who’s supported me here, followed my adventures, tolerated my crazy health roller coaster the last few years, and valued the art I am so privileged to create, THANK YOU!

INVITATION TO SHARE YOUR STORY

Dear Educators, Artists, Directors, Executives:

I’m reaching out as a photojournalist working on an editorial story exploring the real-life impact of recent cuts to federal arts funding on the dance community. As you may know, these cuts have already begun affecting artists, directors, and organizations across the country, impacting creative projects, performance opportunities, and the lives of those who make dance possible.

I want to speak with individuals and organizations who have been or expect to be impacted by these funding changes. Whether you’ve had to acquire alternate funding for productions, adjust programming, or face uncertainty about future projects, your story is important. This editorial aims to raise public awareness and shed light on how these changes are being felt at the community level. Names and organizations will remain anonymous unless permission is given otherwise.

If you’re open to sharing your experience or know others who may be, please feel free to reply to this post via DM. I’d love to schedule a brief conversation at a time that’s convenient for you.

Thank you for considering this opportunity, your insight and experience are invaluable in helping to bring this issue to light. Please feel free to share this post.

Warm regards,
