Secret Jars: About two years ago I had an idea for a show focused on secrets.

I was going to make containers for holding secrets.

The idea was born in the studio classroom, where my role as an educator
also made me an inadvertent gatherer of private stories. Students can be
so candid when talking about their projects, or sometimes, just in
casual conversation with their classmates. I consider myself a
story-teller, but I have never asked anyone directly to share a story.
It has always been my secret that I collect stories and make work that
is based on those stories. I have definitely borrowed information for my
work from my surroundings, especially my jobs. I have been a
hairdresser, photographer, caregiver, artist, and now an educator.
