I am thrilled to be sharing an exhibition with my friend; amazing artist/physician/witness Lissa Rankin, in a joint exhibit of our work titled, “SHE LIVES.”
After five years of preparation, Lissa will be launching her touring art exhibition The Woman Inside Project. A series of painted casts of the torsos of women with breast cancer, and the accompanying stories of the gorgeous women they really are.
I will be showing a limited number of new, large photographic prints on canvas from my series inescapable belonging. All the images are shot in medium format without Photoshop. Rebecca Wilson is the model in this collaborative project that began over 8 years ago.
The show begins at Commonweal , nonprofit health and environmental research institute in Bolinas, California. The opening will be January 24 from 3-5pm, so if you’re in the Bay area, we’d love to see you there..
The past few years I have been primarily focused on film making. My short documentary Hey Mommy Did You Make a Wish? has screened at several film festivals.
Wiley Boy Films
Also, I been producing for some of Tim’s film projects through our company Wiley Boy Films. Currently, we are in production on a trailer for his WWII story about women fighter pilots, Red Heart Rocket.
Wild Mercy

After many years, the Art.Rage.Us exhibit, Art and Writing by Women with Breast Cancer, as been dismantled. It was viewed by more than 27,000 people in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Michigan and Hong Kong, driving my pieces home they felt as if they had acquired a pulse of their own. Art.Rage.Us and “Support.”
“Support” is available in a signed limited edition of 25 Roland Giclée prints on canvas.
