Newest Etching

Etching and Letterpress

New Etching Series

In Feburary 2011 I underwent surgery to have breast tumors removed, which was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. Throughout the whole process I found it difficult to cope with all of the stress and fear that I was feeling, so I channeled those emotions into creating a piece of work to document the event. This series of twenty-one etchings is the most intimate self-portrait I have ever created.

HelloCraft Interview

I was interviewed at HelloCraft.com for my work with The Degenerate Craft Fair!

Crafts Galore!

Here are some of the items you can expect to see at my booth at the Degenerate Craft Fair!

New Pillows!

A whole new set of animal ornaments!

Hey everyone! This weekend is the Degenerate Craft Fair!

Lithography Series

These prints are a series of lithos that I created last semester, they are all three layers, measuring 11x14, editions of 15. These works are very meaningful to me not only because of the emotion behind the work but also because this is the first time I have truly worked with abstraction and color.

Amy Wilson Tote Bags!

My friend Amy Wilson who I did the DCF with just did a really great public art piece that was displayed at West Thames Park. Since it has been taken down she has cut up the large vinyl pieces and turned them into tote bags! These bags are so great because they are each one of a kind and were actually part of the installation. They are on sale HERE and new ones will be put up on Wed. May 19th at 7pm!

Most recent litho.

I videotaped myself today when I was doing lithography. I was proofing a plate for a new abstract series I am working on.

First litho of 2010! Based off a quick sketch I did of outside my window.

Its been a very busy semester so far here is one of my most recent etchings. I have also been doing a lot of lithography and will post some of those soon.

First etching of 2010!

So youtube massacred the quality of these videos, the pieces of the animation are really finely done watercolors but they are super blurry so I would recommend watching it in HD which helps a tiny bit. Anyway, these are two stop motion animations I made for the only video class I have ever taken and will ever take.

DCF

Keeping this short because I am completely exhausted but the first two stops of the Degenerate Craft Fair went amazing!! A lot of people have been showing up I have been selling a lot of my work and overall I'm thrilled at how it turned out. There are a ton of photos up on our Flickr site but here are some shots of my table at 303 Grand.
