Pull Up A Chair

I was honored to be included in this event  – a storytelling variety show.  Among the other storytellers were a comedian; a singer; a Guerilla Girl; a flutist.  This is a picture of me telling the story of Hurricane Katrina from the eyes of a native New Orleanian, and sharing my paintings, The Katrina Trilogy

Pull Up a Chair: A Storytelling Variety Show

This event, on Sunday October 16 at 7:30 pm, will be its second annual occurrence.  This unique event will take place at Theater on the Square, 627 Massachusetts Ave., downtown Indianapolis.  I will be showing my Katrina Trilogy and telling the story of Katrina from my perspective as a native New Orleanian and a clinical social worker living and working with chronically mentally ill adults at the time of Hurricane Katrina, August 29, 2005.  I will talk about how the tragedy still affected me 10 years later, and led to the first step in my career as a professional artist.

Here is the program:
