"Two Artists Talking" a collection of interviews with prominent Boston artists
A project propelled by joy, Two Artists Talking is a collection of interviews with artists Brooke Stewart, Jamal Thorne, Ria Brodell, Yu-Wen Wu, Daniela Rivera, Deb Todd Wheeler, David Antonio Cruz, and Danielle Abrams. The interviews were conducted by students in my Advanced Drawing Seminar at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University, who visited artists in their studios, and asked questions about meaning, process, persistence, and more. It’s a 100-page, beautifully designed, small edition artist book, made possible by my collaborators, artists McCall Hollister and Cassidy Westjohn. You can purchase Two Artists Talking at Praise Shadows Art Gallery, the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

Last Artist Standing
I wrote an essay on my life, how I came to be an artist, and how I’ve been able to continue making art through the decades. You can read it in Last Artist Standing: Living and Sustaining a Creative Life, along with the essays of many other artists. Each artist in the book is over the age of 50, and they share a lot of wisdom, and kindness too. The essays describe our lives, the joys we find in our work, as well as difficulties relating to health, finances, the responsibilities of caregiving, and more. Each and every essay is moving and encouraging, as the artist speaks their truth. Thank you to editor and artist Sharon Louden for inviting me to be part of this collection. Last Artist Standing is the third volume in the Living and Sustaining series, and can be bought through the University of Chicago, publishers of the series.
