2002 – 2010 – Founder/Curator of Flash Goddess Gallery – An online showcase for experimental and artistic new media experiences. We provide a setting for innovative work that may be considered too experimental for commercial projects.
The goal of the Flash Goddess Gallery is to extend the main Flash Goddess web site and highlight women who are pioneering in their use of Adobe Flash. We intend to bolster the exposure of women and give recognition to women of distinction in this field by providing a destination for experiencing creative interactive media.
We seek to inspire users to extend their view of Flash capabilities and to challenge their own creative limits by demonstrating a wide range of inventive uses of Flash.
The Gallery is still online but not updated regularly.
