Co-Founder of Caponi Art Park a place to "Discover Art Unframed"
Along with my late husband the sculptor and educator Anthony Caponi, I co-founded Caponi Art Park in 1992 to promote public art, community involvement, and to preserve 60 acres of open space. This was an act of creative placemaking long before anyone understood the concept and in a fast growing suburban area that was more concerned with ballfields and shopping centers than the need for community or a cultural center.
