For several years I had the opportunity to work with the Utah Museum of Fine Arts on various projects, each one designed to engage young audiences who would be attending their various exhibits.

This piece was created for the Splendid Heritage: Perspectives on American Indian Art exhibit. The piece was designed as a circular dial, allowing the viewer the ability to begin with whatever artifact they choose, while also reflecting the Native American belief that all things are connected to each other.

These old fashioned driving goggles were created for the exhibit entitled, Speed: The Art of the Performance Automobile, and were also to be used at the children’s exhibit at the Utah Arts Festival. The goggles were meant to be decorated, assembled and worn by children, therefore the design had to be very simply and easy to assemble. Using only four brads and a piece of elastic, these goggles were a big hit with the children and a favorite project of mine!
