During 2006 Parker’s work was included in a number of nationally juried shows: at Monmouth University, West Long Branch, NJ; at the Janet Turner Print Museum, California State University, Chico, CA; and in the 15th Biennial North American Small Print Competition, Purdue University Galleries, West Lafayette, IN. One of her prints was exhibited in a juried show of Society of American Graphic Artist members at the Hollar Society Gallery in Prague, Czech Republic. Her complete set of Stations of the Cross were exhibited at Virginia Theological Seminary. And six of her works were included in Visual Preludes, a juried exhibition which was featured during the 2006 General Convention of the Episcopal Church.
Parker’s article “From Commission to Dedication: Sculpting the Parable of the Prodigal Son for Duke Divinity School," was posted on the ECVA (Episcopal Church and the Visual Arts) website. She published an article in the September, 2006, Virginia Seminary Journal describing her work on the Book of Ruth, the Stations of the Cross, and the Prodigal Son sculpture: “O Prosper the Work of Our Hands! ‘Preaching’ the Text Through the Visual Arts.” Her essay, “Printing the Story – The Bible in Etchings, Engravings, and Woodcuts,” was included as a chapter in Scrolls of Love – Ruth and the Song of Songs, edited by Peter Hawkins and Lesleigh Cushing Stahlberg, and published by Fordham University Press. And she wrote “Where Pain and Sorrow Are No More,” as a chapter for Heaven, edited by Roger Ferlo and published under the Seabury imprint of Church Publishing, to be issued in March, 2007.
In November, 2006, Parker took part in a panel discussion – Artists in Conversation with Theology - for the annual meeting of SARTS (The Society for the Arts in Religious and Theological Studies). She spoke about the ways that teaching at an institution of theological study has influenced her art.
Parker is the Art Editor of the Washington Print Club Quarterly and she also serves on the WPC board. Her cover article for the Quarterly, Rembrandt at 400, appeared in the Winter 2006/07 issue.
