Here's a sampling from amongst the many Community Projects
I initiated & facilitated ​​or worked on collaboratively over the years:

Spirits of the Earth and Earth Stewards Exhibit & Event - 2019

Curator  |  Organizer 

In 2019 I contacted 10 regional environmental organizations in order to honor their work (and promote interest in volunteerism and sponsorship) through an exhibition and community showcase event at Cerimon House in NE Portland. The exhibition also featured the work of environmental artist and photographer David Vala. Under the auspices of Earth Arts NW, I created all digital promotional materials, exhibit banners showcasing the work of organizations, curated the artist's exhibit in consultation with the artist, and co-hosted the exhibit and community event with Cerimon House.

Cully Street Banners - 2014

Arts Mentor  |  Digital Designer 

In 2014 I guided (grades 6-8) Community Transitional School students and (grades 2-5) Hacienda House participants through a design process that led to the production of Street Banners which represented the Cully Neighborhood, from 2014-2019.

Common Voice - 1997

Arts Mentor  |  Writer, Co-Composer

The Common Voice project involved 150 students (grades 4-8) in a theater and music-based art project focused on learning about and celebrating the Tualitan River Watershed. After 3 months of collaborative writing and song composition, students rehearsed and performed their songs and narrative for a large regional audience at the Spring TRW celebration.

​Procession of the Species
1999-2001

Arts Mentor  |  Arts Presenter

A regional event co-sponsored by the Earth and Spirit Council and the City of Portland, the Procession offered citizens opportunities to learn about regional eco-challenges, connect with environmental action groups and to participate in a celebration of the diversity of Life in a Procession of the Species through downtown Portland.

​During the project I guided children & adults through the process of making Species Masks & Costumes and also created and shared Earth songs and performance art at community gatherings.


​Cultural Activism

Global Citizen  |  Cultural Creative

​From the 70's onward, I worked on a variety of projects that engaged our community in issues of the day - the Vietnam War, the evolution of Labor Unions, minority and women's rights, the environment, political upheavals around the world, and our own incursions into the middle east.

I believe it's important to engage with the idea that we are all part of a greater whole, no matter where we live, what language we speak or religion we practice. Ripples of energy and consciousness flow between us whether we are aware of them or not.  We collectively influence the shape of the future through our thoughts and actions.

I believe that we're all responsible for the welfare of Earth's children and for the planet home we share. We are, in truth, One Earth Family.
