Photographs from Iraq

I am currently curating a very unique photography exhibition.

Profile......
Leesha. Quigg is a 24-year-old full-time student, at Montgomery County Community College, a single mother, she is part Native American and a returning U.S. Army Veteran Reservist. During her tour of duty in Iraq from May 2009 until March 2010 she was with the United States Army as a Civil Affairs Specialist.

This video is a companion piece to Ms. Quigg's photography exhibition. Proceeds from the sale of prints help fund a Veterans Scholarship at our College.








We had a fantastic turn out for the Photographs from Iraq exhibition. Dr. Karen Stout was there and welcomed Leesha Quigg. Please see images taken right before the opening reception.

Think Art - Think Diversity

I recieved a grant to design a project that had to do with diversity. I designed the Diversity Design Workshop where students create posters for various departments at MCCC.

Solo Exhibition

Custom Paintbrushes up for Auction



These paint brushes were used by painting contractors on campus at MCCC to paint the walls of the new Fine Art Center. I persuaded one of the contractors to give me his used brushes so that I could make custom pieces of art with each brush. The finished painted brushes were donated to the Silent Auction at MCCC to rasie money for the new Fine Art Center.
