Call for Women Visual Artists

Roots: Interconnectivity, Healing, and Strength

My invitation to women artists:

I'm an artist whose environmental themed sculptures have been exhibited in solo and group shows across the United States and internationally. This year, I'm excited to launch a collaborative project for women artists around the world to participate in my

Roots Exhibition
… and I hope you will join me!

My inspiration – trees!

In this era of distrust, conflict, alienation, and extinction, I look to the remarkable healing power of nature, especially trees. Standing among trees, I am in awe of their size, age, beauty, and ability to survive.

I've been learning about trees and their underground connection through roots. This huge ancient network supports and nourishes their species, as well as other plants in their community.


Trees show us the way

We humans can learn a lot from trees. There's much that our own species can do to take care of our earth and environment – our home – as an imperative for survival. We're connected to each other through our roots, our heritage, our families, and our migrations.

What do roots mean to you?

Amidst the current climate crisis, it's not only helpful, but imperative to reflect and connect through art – visual, written, or sound. I'm asking women artists to think about roots and collaborate with me about what roots mean to them or inspire them. My intention is to connect us with each other from around the globe.

Interested in participating?
