ARTIST STATEMENT
Featured artist in the Feminist Studies Journal, Fall 2005 Edition. She exhibited in such venues as the Pen and Brush Club, The Parrish Museum in Southampton, NY, and The Salmagundi Club Gallery, NYC. In 2001 she became an International artist by being invited to show in the Biennale Internazionale dell'Arte Contemporanea, in Florence, Italy. In 2004 she took part in a show at the Aukcio-Ernst Muzeum, Hungary. That same year, she had her first experience as a set designer at La MaMa Etc., NYC for Smokin' Word's BODY WORK, playwright: Claudia Alick. Thirteen mannequins from her series, "A Tribe to Remember", were on display.
Callie is currently working on a few projects, one of which is a collaborative with the artist Jeanne Aulaire Mischo, who she has known since 1983. Together they are working on three panels dealing with the Gowanus Canal, in Brooklyn. The panels represent the past, present, and future of the canal and deal with issues of its previous polluted state. They can be seen on the website: www.theartvibe.com. They will be on display this May at the ISE Foundation Gallery, NYC.
In April 2006, Callie spent a month at The Julia and David White Artists' Colony, located in Costa Rica. Her previous residencies include the Vermont Studio Center, in Johnson, Vermont and The Hungarian Multicultural Center Residency Program, in Balatonfured, Hungary.
