Chimera: Solo Exhibition at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art
This summer I will be having a solo exhibition at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art. Chimera opens July 3, 2026 and will run through October 18, 2026.
Please join me for the opening reception on Friday, July 3 from 5–8 PM. The evening will be taking place during SLOMA’s First Fridays program and the summer nights will be in full swing. The public is invited to join an artist-led walkthrough of the exhibition at 5:30 PM. Both events are free and open to the public.
About the exhibition:
Chimera: The Future of Nature is a series of animated films, dioramas and photography situated in ecologically stressed environments, inventing characters and objects that are assembled from unique biological debris. A work of hopeful regeneration, it is fueled by research in climate collapse and the ways living things evolve to meet the challenges of a rapidly shifting world.
The intention is to address a sense of wonder and loss, offering an experience of small and large worlds that are unseen or forgotten. Our ecosystems have the ability to remake themselves in times of great stress. The work contains the hope of a future of nature that embraces both the sadness of what is passing and a celebration of what will come.
Note: Chimera are fantasy creatures that feature parts of various animals. They appear in the mythological stories of cultures worldwide and are also found in plant and animal species as a hallmark of evolution.
