New Mexico Public Art Incentive
My submission of three paintings to New Mexico Arts was recently accepted for inclusion in a portfolio of artworks available for purchase for the Arts in Public Places Program. Committees made up of local and regional representatives work with New Mexico Arts staff to select artwork from this digital portfolio for various sites and public buildings that have 1% for public art funds available to them.
Since its inception nearly 25 years ago, the Art in Public Places program has placed more than 2,500 works of art in all of New Mexico’s 33 counties. With a goal to reflect the diversity of the arts in New Mexico, the Southwest, and the nation the program is building a dynamic public art collection for the State of New Mexico.

I am proud to be included in her portfolio and would like to share my profile with you.
