I’m co-hosting a discussion at The Screen tomorrow, Tuesday, November 12th following a screening of the powerful film ‘City Dreamers’. ‘City Dreamers’ tells the story of four pioneering female architects and the incredible mark they’ve left on modern cities across North America and Europe.

I’m honored to be presenting about R/UDAT, the AIA’s participatory design project that gave us the Santa Fe Railyard Community Plan.

It will be an exploration of the myriad of ways we communicate and declare our identity—How does one find one’s voice, refine it, lose it, and listen for it in unexpected places? I’ll be joined by other local artists, architects, business owners and more at the event — and you as well, I hope!

The Rabbit Bend Cabin is one of mine. This is a special project for me because it was done for my own family. For many years, my parents have wanted to build a cabin to use as a place of rest for our family and to be a special place where my mom could paint.
