upstART Gallery: a Jim Lee Project
- juried exhibition -
June 2 - July 1, 2023
I created Safe Space specifically for Jim Lee's UpstART Gallery and I'm honored that the piece was accepted for the exhibition.
What makes this project so extraordinary is its scale: the gallery is built 1/12 of a typical gallery, measuring only 48 inches in length. Consequently, all artwork was required to be 1/12 of what the artists typically make.
Opening Reception: June 03, 6-8 pm
Slow Art Tour: June 22, 6-8 pm
Meet the Artist Jim Lee: June 29, 6-8 pm
Regular Opening Hours: Wednesday - Saturday noon - 6pm

In addition, you can listen to a recording of my lecture. (Please embrace the imperfection of this recording. Initially, the host's microphone was off so just keep listening to the "silent" introduction. Plus, the auto-generated captions do not always correspond to what I said, lol.)

The Art of Mental Health
November 12, 2019 – January 24, 2020
Gallery 235 at the Rubenstein Arts Center, Duke University
2020 Campus Drive, Durham, NC 27705
Opening Reception: November 14, 2019, 6-8 pm
Panel Discussion: December 6, 12 – 1pm
Unfortunately, mental illness is still a taboo topic despite the fact that so many people are suffering, not only the patients themselves, but also their families and close friends. My goal is to encourage a conversation through my art.
Therefore, it is a great privilege for me that my art quilt “Wall of Depression” was selected to be exhibited at the Rubenstein Arts Center at Duke University. In addition, I was invited to be a panelist for the discussion of art and mental health. You can watch my 5-minutes presentation on my YouTube channel.
In this exhibit, the organizer Dr. Melissa Miller showcases visual art work that highlights active efforts toward creating and maintaining mental health and wellness. You can read more about this exhibition at https://artscenter.duke.edu/event/the-art-of-mental-health-exhibit/.
You can also read a little bit more about this exhibition and my contribution in an article published in the November issue of Carolina Arts.
