Art Prize 2025: “Portals: In Nature We Heal”

So Big!

This year, I'm part of ArtPrize 2025 Portals with six other ladies. In this picture I'm standing on ONE side of a doorway/portal that will be covered, mostly, with art. Our groups subject is " In Nature We Heal" and I am focusing on a kintsugi (broken pottery joined with gold that creates a more valuable vessel) and mosaic theme.

They are 7.5 feet tall and are designed to display outside.

Now that we have our structures, it's time to cover them! We are making sketches, glass sculptures, cracking plates (at least I am) and gathering materials.

We also have a Kickstarter if you'd like to support us and be a part of ART!

Stay Tuned, lots of updates and more official ArtPrize details to come.

Anna Donahue, Project leader, and E. Susan Meekhof, Nicole Coman, Sri McCarthy, Cindi Brunell, and Annie Vredovell, and myself, to create a large outdoor art project for ArtPrize. Carpentry of the portal structure provided by Joshua Kohns.

The Sculptures Will be on the Sidewalk in front of the Entrance

They are currently invisible. I took a picture to visualize how we will create a path for them.
