Intrigued by the way spaces work together & how people inhabit-and interact-with those spaces; living in France as well as the US is informing my art anew!

Text for entry to the Lyndon House 50th Juried Exhibiton (2025):

The historic Wuxtry Records has been standing on the corner of Clayton Street and College Avenue in Athens, Ga., since 1976. What could say more about a college town than a thriving, hip record store? I used to own a walk-up sandwich stand (Harvey's) next to Wuxtry's in the early '80s and the Athens downtown scene was very lively, and I was very proud to be part of it. The simplicity of the Wuxtry facade belies the energy and activity that go on within.
