How did showing in the exhibition impact your career as an artist?
“I showed in the Betsy Meyer Exhibition early in my career as an artist. It was thrilling to show in a place where I had taken art classes as a child. I was happy that within this community there was such a strong interest in contemporary art. I felt that it had been the right decision to move back to the area after college and attend grad school in Philadelphia. “I showed in the Betsy Meyer Exhibition early in my career as an artist.
