I began stitching Living and Dying Under Dobbs in April of 2025.

Here are some stops in the project’s journey.

Displayed at campaign fundraiser for Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul. Highland Park, IL. August 20, 2026.
Solo exhibit. Montana Book Company, Helena, MT. July 8-11, 2026.
—Artist talk on July 9 with special guest Anne Angus, a reproductive rights advocate affiliated with Free & Just. I tell Anne’s story in Volume 8. Book sales benefited the Montana Abortion Access Program.
