More info on PROOF:, an exhibition I am curating with Gail Beppu at Beppu Wiarda Gallery:

This exhibition focuses on women in the arts and sciences.  It will take place during the month of March (women’s history month) at Beppu Wiarda Gallery.  Nine local artists with various artistic backgrounds are participating, including myself.  Each artist was required to select a woman scientist in history then to create a piece of art based on that scientist’s life and/or work.  The exhibition is coordinated with Sunday art talks by participating artists along with talks by art historians on the topic of art and science, and currently working scientists speaking on their focus.  In addition, some of the artists are actually collaborating with their scientists of choice.  It should be a very fascinating exhibition.  Stay tuned for more updates…
