Last month, I traveled to the beautiful state of Arizona, where I was fortunate to see @maryvirginiaswanson ! I also met new friends and people whose work I truly admire, and immerse myself in so many extraordinary and inspiring exhibitions.

It was a privilege to visit the Phoenix Art Museum and experience @cararomerophotography ‘s Panûpünüwügai (Living Light) exhibition and performance; Muscle Memory: Photography and the Body, curated by @emilia.mickevicius ; Eric Fischl; Colorwear; and the museum’s Baroque exhibition.
I also had the chance to visit the Tucson Museum of Art to see the Arizona Biennial, an exhibition of Mexican women photographers, and the museum’s permanent collection, as well as Etherton Gallery and the Center for Creative Photography.

I returned home filled with new ideas, meaningful conversations, and a renewed sense of inspiration. Thank you all!
