TALL GIRL SERIES:  A  ‘BODY’ OF WORK
When I was 17 years old and 78.5 inches long, I was surgically shortened six inches with the intention of giving me a “normal” life.  more than 40 years later I created the The Tall Girl Series: A Body of Work , a 23 piece exhibit as I came to terms with the physical pain, emotional scars, and spiritual healing. This PowerPoint presentation and trunk show incorporates vignettes of my story with the images of the entire series. The trunk show contains 4-5 pieces dependent on exhibit status.

UPPING YOUR ODDS
a PowerPoint presentation examining the most common mistakes made by artists when submitting work to juried exhibits.  Many artists believe that their work is declined by the juror or that the odds were so high that they never stood a chance.  In reality 20% of entries to a past juried exhibit were disqualified before the juror received the files.  This presentation deals with the ten most common errors made when submitting work for a juried exhibit and is applicable to artists of any media.

WORKING IN A SERIES
