In recent years I have been asked to use my curatorial and implementation skills for a public space audience. Here is a page showing a few of these projects.
2018 - December
I was asked by the Revenue Division of the City of Portland to create a semi-permanent art display of work created in Arts Tax funded classrooms.
I contacted several teachers for help gathering student work for this display.
I selected the Art looking for variety in student age and subject matter. I arranged to have the work professionally photographed then I teamed with a printer to resize and create giclee prints.
I sourced framing for the seventeen pieces of Art and I personally hung the show, featuring the work of seventeen artists between the ages of Kindergarten and 5th grades.
Here is the show as it was just hung:
Here is the work as we were working on the process of enlarging, matting and framing.

A second goal was to have images available to Revenue for use in Arts Tax mailings and reminders. Here is what was used for the first reminder emailed out last week.
2018- I worked directly (solely) with a graphic designer to update our school's behavior expectation posters.
My request was for a cleaner and cleaner contemporary look reflecting student diversity and with a simple graphic for noise volume. The designer came up with these posters to meet the needs of our school.
As one young girl said - "How come I am in every poster?" Improvement!
2018- Our school had a 1970's mural that perpetuated gender stereotypes. My charge was to work with the students design and paint a more update responsive mural.
Here is what we came up with - a very large, but fun.
Now installed in the Capitol Hill Cafeteria.
