You know what makes me happy? Mini art. Little tidbits of artistic magnificence that you can tuck away on those on walls in your home that are hard to decorate. Delicate watercolors and little Milagros and shrines and exquisite oil paintings. I love that stuff! And now I have my own collection of little delicate masterpieces to share with all of you! It all started with the acquisition of my cherished butterfly punch. I loved the little butterfly prints so much I wanted to sh

Butterfly in the Garden Print over Gelli Print Circle Recently I have been working on a series of hanging gelli print “scrolls.” I started the series while visiting my husband who was working in Chicago for a month last year. While there, I was itching to paint and ended up impulse buying a big round gelli plate, acrylic paints, and a roll of paper. Gelli Plates are an extremely fun and versatile form of monoprinting. You simply apply some acrylic paint to the plate and then

What’s better for spring than new bright clothing? New clothing designed by your good friend and artist! My new collection “Magic Carpets” was created with a series of little paintings I created to deconstruct. I loved them so much I decided to create a whole collection of goodies for you to wear and use and have in your home. Check it out! My favorite products from this collection Floor Pillows: These are brand new to Society6 and I think they are truly fabulous. Get Comfy.

Last December I was happy to present my art to friends and family at a salon held in my home. I curated a collection of my own pieces dating from college to the present and hung them throughout my new home in Colorado. I was truly tickled by the audience of friends who came to witness me and view my art. As part of the salon I spoke about my experience as an artist, the themes and materials I choose to work in, and answered wonderfully thought provoking questions. You can vie

My first public art show is up! My art! On walls in a local venue! Go me! I am excited to announce that my art will be hanging at Anytime Fitness for the next three months. Anytime Fitness is a local gym and I reached out after seeing their call for art. Apparently members of the gym had requested art for the space and the team at the store decided collaborating with local artists would be best. I am honored to be the first artist to exhibit in their space. Anytime Fitness ha

On Saturday night I had the honor of performing at and donating to Flow for Aleppo.  I danced with my belly dancing troupe, The Tribal Misfits, and donated a print to the event’s silent auction. Flow for Aleppo is a fundraising event bringing together Denver artists, poets, musicians, dancers, and foodies for one night only to raise funds for Hand in Hand for Syria. The print I donated was originally created during a 30 days of painting challenge I began in 2014. The somber c

Fame This piece started in a really different place than it ended. I woke up a couple mornings ago and decided to tidy up my studio. Then disaster struck! I knocked over my teal liquid acrylic container that I had failed to close all the way. In a panic I snatched up a canvas and tried to transfer as much of the ink puddle as I could to the surface. Hence the beginnings of this work. Most of that is now covered but I liked the color palette it inspired. #Fame #Pain #Printmaki

I am currently enrolled in an advanced studio course through the Art House. My wonderful instructor Rebecca challenged me to think more seriously about the color palettes I was working with. The pieces I brought in for the midterm critique were half finished and all across the board in terms of size, color, narrative, and so on. There was very little cohesion, except that you could see my hand in all of them. Our small group has an exhibition coming up at the end of June so I

This slideshow requires JavaScript. These are images from my completed printmaking project from last semester. It’s entitled pedestals and it is a series of prints that show the light side and the dark side of the pedestals that I find myself places upon, whether by others or by myself. I was thrilled with the final product because all the trial and error really paid off. The hanging style with the mirror was also extremely polished looking. Pretty much everything I did stren

I made this mockup becuase I had no idea what the printing ink would do on an uneven surface, or on magazine paper. As you can see it turned out really cool. I also was unsure of what color I wanted to do. In the end I had four two-sided prints: One side had colored words with white ink (more similar to this example) and the other had black and white words with black ink. I was really happy with the final product and got an A for the project. I will post the final series at a
