I’m generally used to working larger but actually didn’t feel cramped at all when I went to make this work at the specified max size of 12x12. More small works coming soon ☺️ Artwork: “Everything is ok.” 2019. Currently available.

🌟 Off to gallery sit today! Last time I met a wonderful character of a gentleman who helped start the underground art movement in New York, and was an art critic for The Austin Chronicle. He said something I haven’t stopped thinking about. 🌟 He said he’d always go twice to a show: first at the opening and then when the crowd was gone. It let him see the works that were overshadowed by the flashier ones. While easiest to see at first, the louder ones lost their impact the second time around. 🌟 Was fun to have words put to something I had noticed as well. And a great reminder that it isn’t just about doing a song and dance bc others are, but saying and doing what’s true to you. Those are the things that last.

From juried shows to a record-breaking EAST Austin Studio Tour to new collectors and a surprise feature in The Austin Chronicle, this year was more than I could’ve asked for!
So thankful for the unique collaborative spirit that marks our artistic community. See you all next year 😉 First and last photo courtesy of Big Medium.

In my element at @dimensiongallery during @tammierrubin‘s immersive show. Looks like I’m about to take flight. Sounds about right ☺️

Much of this year has been spent developing a new way of working. Exploring the fragility of things half-formed, the series will be officially released on the site this week 🌟 Artwork: A Space Too Small, 24x18, 2019

Attending an artist talk last night reminded me how inspiring it is when we keep the conversation alive between artists. There’s an exchange of our interior lives that challenges us and reminds us we’re all in this crazy thing together.
