the individual. Trained originally as a ceramicist, Palmer uses a variety of

featured in several national and international exhibitions, including
Working History at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, Hair Follies at
Concordia University in Montreal and Workspace, a solo exhibition at Wabash
College, Crawfordsville, Indiana. She has participated in several artist
residencies including the Santa Fe Art Institute, Santa Fe, NM, Art Channel
in Beijing, China and the Sanskriti Foundation, New Delhi, India."
