On Exhibit Thru July 2026 at Huntington Public Library
Let’s Learn Something!
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to serve as both designer and curator for a variety of exhibitions. From history-based displays to more playful pieces, I enjoy creating work that is visually engaging and invites people to learn something new.
At present, I have three exhibits in rotation, including two traveling exhibits: PRIDE! Our Story and Shorelines & Speakeasies. My latest exhibit, America 250: Celebrating Huntington, NY, a seven-month series for the Semiquincentennial, is on display at Huntington Public Library through July 2026.
America 250 Exhibit at Huntington Public Library
Local history takes center stage in this engaging exhibit that connects local heritage to America’s journey toward freedom and self-government. Through a series of bi-monthly panels on display from January through July 2026, visitors are invited to explore the people, places, and events that shaped both colonial Huntington and the emerging United States.
A mobile-friendly online companion expands the experience, offering additional details and discoveries that visitors can explore and share anytime.
Featuring bold individuals and groundbreaking organizations, PRIDE! Our Story invites visitors on a journey through the milestones, voices, and stories that have shaped the LGBTQ+ community’s ongoing pursuit of equality. From the fearless pioneers who dared to be different to the landmark moments that helped change laws and lives, this exhibit celebrates resilience, pride, and progress.
Originally unveiled at Huntington Public Library in June 2025, PRIDE! Our Story continues to reach new audiences as a traveling exhibition available to libraries and organizations, and through the mobile-friendly online exhibit.
