Artist Statement

All through my life I have held the office of the President of the United States in a deep pocket in my heart. I have carefully nurtured this role, constantly worrying and fretting about the state of our nation. I have written letters, made calls, protested, voted, donated, and worried. These 100 worry dolls represent my worries for our country and my small attempts to tuck them into a pocket in hopes that our country can withstand the inadequacies.


Presented by the Jasper Project, The Degenerate Art Project II is the answer to an overwhelming request by artists and patrons of Jasper's inaugural Degenerate Art Project (July 2025) for an additional exhibition which will involve an open call for visual artists. This 3 week-long multidisciplinary arts event (Feb. 11–28 at Stormwater Studios) invites Midlands artists to respond to today's socio-political climate, and unite our local arts community—physically and in spirit—in support and solidarity during challenging times. Inspired by—and reclaiming—the legacy of the Nazi-labeled "Degenerate Art" of 1937, this project champions creative resistance and free expression through a visual art exhibition, featuring over 40 Midlands artists.
