2025 has flown by! 😵
On first reflection it felt like I didn’t make as much work as I had hoped, but I’ve really enjoyed the mix of client projects, personal work, fundraisers, and new opportunities that ended up on my plate.
And there’s not really a spot for it in this format, but a big chunk of my time over this past year was devoted to teaching-related work. I’ve been teaching consistently for 5 years now and I’m still finding it to be a real challenge — rewarding, but hard to wrap my head around at times.
Extra thanks to my agent Kelly Pelsue and her team at @morgangaynin for bringing me on board this past summer! Very much looking forward to what 2026 will bring.

Hey Art-A-Whirlers — I’ve got a selection of prints on display this weekend at Salon Gold (22nd & 5th NE) alongside a whole bunch of other artists, musicians, and vendors! All of these prints are available for purchase (with shipping or free local pick-up) via the NEMAA.org website — link in bio!
Big thanks to Sarah from @salongoldmn for pulling it all together — and be sure to grab a beer and check out her paintings at @grumpysnortheast down the block!

So cool to see all the photos and footage from the return of “ICE OUT Protest Art Projections” at the Witch’s Hat water tower from earlier this week — big thanks to the folks at @artyouheartshop and @secondsightvisuals for keeping this work alive!

Today’s the final day of “Love in the Time of Resistance” at @coprosperitychicago — it’s truly an honor to have a piece of my work included in this traveling snapshot of Minnesota’s visual response to ICE violence. So much of what happened in the Twin Cities was shaped and informed by Chicago’s efforts during last year’s Operation Midway Blitz, so this show of solidarity feels full of collective gratitude.
Extra thanks to @artyouheartshop for continuing to support this important work and to @chancsmith_ and @colectivomultipolar for these documentation photos!

Process steps from my piece for MicroVisions 9 from @wowxwow_art 🐝 The drawing was made with colored pencils on a small wood panel, alternating with layers of ultra-matte medium and a final addition of acrylic paint for the background.
