My first big art show of 2019 at Delta College,was written up in the Stockon Recorder by Joy Neas

This group show, envisioned by curator, Jan Marlese, includes four other professional and exceptional artists and student work directed by artist Judy Shintani. The theme is timely. How to address and perhaps heal depression in those at Delta College.
For my part, I created new paintings and Spirit Boats that each held words that I heard when I listened to a video of the conference they held on campus last spring. The heartfelt voices gave me the connections I was seeking to name each boat. This created a lot of resonance with the large crowds at the reception. And provided me with one of the most meaningful art show ever.
