A little ode to this studio:)
This place has fostered my creative practice in so many ways over the past 5 years. This year I have been working more with the garage door open and the vibe in here is just right. I love the plants that @ypsiotter keeps alive for me. Every year gets better in this space. I feel more at home here every day.

A few clips from my new website!!! I had the pleasure of working with @katiebarriestudio to entirely redesign my website. Go check it out!
She did an amazing job customizing everything and making the portfolio page of my dreams. I couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful designer for this project. She is an artist herself and specializes in artist in studio websites and it’s really it really shows and made the process of explaining what I wanted easier.
Fun fact! Katie and I crossed paths first for a year at @interlochenarts long long ago.
Thanks Katie!

All yellow in Amsterdam 🌞🌻💛✌️
Color hunting is so fun:) Yellow, especially a slight burnt yellow is my absolute favorite and so my eye is already trained to see it. But this really made me look a little differently at the wonders of Amsterdam. This city is fun.

This one is available in my shop:)

Fun fact about this piece… I did all the drawing while listening to @andyweirofficial Project Hail Mary. I think I binged the whole thing in like two days, it was the fastest I had ever finished a painting!
Amaze Amaze Amaze!!
