NJ is a member of Women Made Gallery (Chicago) and for the past seven years has been a PrintAustin board member. She currently works from her home studio outside of Austin.
Artist Statement
2020 is a year of ebb and flow in my artistic creativity. A year that has summoned taking chances, replaced a comfortable way of being with living in a place of vulnerability, and taught me to move forward in an uncertain landscape.
My experimental drawings spring organically from a place of rawness; light and dark punctuated by flashes of color. These drawings are more spontaneous with no framing, just works on paper that offer freedom, healing, and an optimistic future.
The Austin Studio Tour is made possible through the generosity of our supporters.
The Austin Studio Tour is a program of Big Medium.
