paintings, professional images COMING SOON

Yes, this blog is not super professional and amazing as of yet. It's cool, I'm still figuring it all out and happy I at least started up again. Sheesh that took awhile. Anyway, I am thrilled to be working with an actual professional photographer this Fall, and I will have some images of new work to share. I've been busy in the studio. Time to document. I feel that momentum is building, things are slowly moving in the right direction. It's challenging to start again in a new city. Gotta give it a few years and we are coming up on 3 years back in Kansas City by way of Los Angeles, by way of Milwaukee, by way of Madison, and Kansas City before that. Full circle I guess. Kind of. And it's taken me that long to feel okay about it. Yes.

My son gets it

I will admit, my children influence my work a lot. Particularly my 4 yr old son who is obsessed with color like his mama. He loves rainbows, arranging objects, patterns and just simply creating. Here are some examples. 
We got these bendy things at a restaurant

Play doh, so gorgeous

Drawing collaboration summer 2013

Gyan, Elliott and I all lived and worked at the Santa Fe Artist Colony in Los Angeles a few years ago. We also attended the Kansas City Art Institute together. Our first drawing collaboration was so fun and turned out pretty great so we are working on a new one. In the spirit of Exquisite Corpse drawings, we each take turns working on a drawing. 90 total. Here are some PROCESS photos:



New blog, so it begins..

This is something that makes me very happy. Feeling totally inspired after this morning..
