EVENT- Chautauqua Exhibit at UNCG

I was recently invited to participate in the Chautauqua Exhibit at UNCG, my art being tied into the environment and the Native American love of nature. The Chautauqua is part of a think tank of undergraduate students at UNCG devoted to solutions relating to environmental wellness. I exhibited 10 environmentally themed pieces for the 2-day event.
