I am honored to have three of my pieces included in the exhibition “Piercing the Silence: Everyday Art of Resistance” currently on view at The Museum of Beadwork in Portland, Maine. Hope you get a chance to stop by and see it in person, it’s on through April 2027. The entrance to the museum is inside the fabulous Caravan Beads, so as a bonus you get to go bead shopping as you exit through the gift shop! 😁 @museumofbeadwork @caravanbeads #museumofbeadwork #piercingthesilence #caravanbeads #beadwork #beadspy

Visiting Portland, ME to see “Piercing the Silence: Everyday Art of Resistance featuring the Heavy Flag Project by @a_jillian_ & Blood Coming Out of Her Lady Liberty by @marciebrozyna_art among others. So amazing & emotional to see both of these pieces in person.

Great exhibit. Lots of other great pieces on display at @museumofbeadwork. If you are nearby, it’s worth a trip. We drove nearly 5 hours.

A quick window of a wholesome moment in the gallery today:
We have a bead dip, which is a barrel of beads you can dip your hands into. Turns out it is supper popular.
Today a grandfather and his 7 year old grandson stood on either side of it dipping their hands in and talking about the finer points of art and texture in the way curious 7 year olds do. Grandpa encouraged and commented but let his grandson lead the conversation. It was just lovely to witness, and made me smile ❤️

Ok a few of y’all said you’d be interested in a top 20 (and I only listen to the few of y’all interested) so I made one.
I’m still adding songs to the playlist and I’m beginning illustrations for a protest music zine. I want to find other ways to learn history about this music, curate, and pass it around. I’ll also be burning more cds before the mid-terms.

The full playlist, currently sitting at around 76 hours of music, is on Spotify and Deezer as Hugs + Resistance.

What is your favorite protest song? Tell meee 🤘🏼🙂‍↕️🤘🏼

The flag is currently on view @museumofbeadwork

Need a dose of whimsy? Craving an easy moment of creativity? Have a hankering for a colorful, community-filled break from the heaviness of 2026? Join us at @museumofbeadwork on August 22 (in Portland, ME) for just such a science-art crafting workshop. This three-workshops-in-one event offers something for everyone, regardless of your background or familiarity with the science and gorgeousness of the microbial world. Come for the workshop and stay for the associated special exhibit in the museum on the theme of “Mushrooms & Microbes: Nature’s Artistry in Detail.” Order tickets at the link in my bio (scroll all the way down).

Dear All!
I can reveal it now that in April I participated in the Microbes & Mushrooms competition, organized by the Portland Museum of Beadworks. Because I admire mushrooms, my submission was a mushroom inspired necklace which I named Hippie Forest. To my pleasure, the piece made it into the competition finals, and it is currently being showcased in the musem.

However, yesterday the jury announced the winners, and unfortunately Hippie Forest was not among the winners. Still, I am glad that I could be part of the competition, thank you so much and congratulations to the winners! The official pictures will be out online on the Museum’s site during the weekend, but I will also share them here.
