During this Pandemic-induced pause, I am rebuilding the scaffolding of my creative life. An important part of that new structure will be the Synergy Project, a collaborative venture between the Art League of Rhode Island (ALRI) and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) This two-year project pairs scientists with artists to find a common ‘language’ to communicate oceanographic life and activity through artistic expression. It will culminate in an art exhibit and other events.
