When I create pieces like the one I’m working on now, I try not to hold too firm an idea of the finished outcome. I’ve learned that letting a piece unfold naturally produces stronger work, but I didn’t always approach art this way.

Little birds have been appearing in my artwork for quite some time now. It all started during a difficult season when I felt lost and forgotten.

Something crazy happened this week—I did something I’ve never done before. I completely missed a drop-off date for an art show, and I was mortified.

One of the most common questions I get asked about my artwork is “How did you come up with that?” My process for creating artwork is so completely unique that it can be hard to really wrap your brain around it.

Recently I have been trying to process all that has been going on in the U.S government, it’s a bit overwhelming and such a big thing, that I have questioned how appropriate it is to try to be selling artwork. By comparison, artwork feels like such a small thing even when I know in my gut that art is important.
