Exhibition Statement

We are shaped by our relationships – in obvious ways and in unseen ways.  When we choose partners, we learn to adjust here and there.  Give a bit of space. Grow in ways
we hadn’t imagined.  We develop our own private language, our in-jokes.  Lean on and support each other.  Loss irrevocably changes us.  When we lose our person, we also lose who we were.

This body of work is an exploration of the uncharted territory that follows such a loss.  Inspiration is found in a variety of sources – mythology, the natural world, cultural mourning practices, lived experience, and terms such as “widow’s fog” – weaving together themes of grief and hope, memory and the unknown, brokenness and resilience.  Exhibition details.


Porter Scholarship Residency

Art Gym Denver established the Porter Scholarship Residency in memory of Eric L. Porter.  It is designed for artists who lack the financial means, workspace, and equipment to realize and further expand their art practice.  The scholarship offers artists the opportunity to explore with the same joy and passion that Eric put into his artwork.  More information.

The limited-edition book "Grief" is in the collections of both Colorado College Tutt Library Special Collections and the University of Denver Libraries, Special Collections & Archives.  

Ingrid's paintings were featured in the Colorado College Alumni Bulletin, along with other CC artists as part of Art Week.

"Grief" was reviewed in The Metropolitan, Metropolitan State University's online publication.
