Selected Exhibitions
Over the years I have collaborated on many exhibitions across Tallahassee, FL. I approach exhibition curation has a collaborative practice. I believe collaboration between all members of an exhibition team is crucial to an educative, engaging, and meaningful experience for exhibition visitors. Below is a small selection of highlighted exhibitions I have co-curated with teams ranging from my coworkers at FSU Libraries, graduate school colleagues, and fellow museum professionals.
Doctoral research can be a lonely process. The puzzlement and uncertainty that accompany our solo decisions destabilize us from time to time. Ultimately, this makes us more confident and knowledgeable researchers, but not without stress.
Inspired by trace/layer/play, we formed our own collective, Warp & Weft. The collective provides structure across our disciplines (art education, museum curation and education, libraries, and archives) to help each of us make our dissertations a little less lonely for each other.
Take a few steps with us on our PhD journeys. Each section will highlight our research topic during one stage of the messy process of academic thinking. We invite you to add your own ideas and perspectives to the interactive elements.

This exhibition highlighted a selection of children's literature from the Marsha Gontarski Children's Literature Collection held in by the FSU Libraries Special Collections & Archives. This exhibition asked visitors to explore different archetypes that children's books often sets up for the reader: researcher, daydreamer, detective, traveler, or activist.
This exhibition was a first for the Art in the Library program. The content was at the time some of the most artistically technical work, but the themes of the exhibition covered difficult topics as they represented the artist's experience with having a psychotic episode. The Exhibition program ensure the anonymity of the artist, while providing safe space for them to share their work with their fellow students.
