I love this. Working in ink is so satisfying!
This piece was a commission. The original has a new and loving home!

"Sparks" 2019 (Not even its final form!)
I’ve got several of these smaller paintings (sealed with resin) that are on a thinner substrate (wood panel, masonite, etc). I’m thinking these will be more like an inlay for a bigger project. I like how these are coming along.

My Scentsy warmer, a candle, a painting I made and love, and a beautiful piece of glass.

One of my favorites.

Flow Painting & Resin - Top of Desk
I needed a new desk, so in January I went to Target and picked out something that better suited my needs. I wanted to freshen it up and get creative with the top of the desk.
I painted the body of the desk white, and decided to do a flow painting over the top using acrylic and oil paint, followed by clear resin.
Behold!
Espresso.
Photo credit: potato.
Some assembly required.
I'm extremely pleased with the results. It’s just the right vibe I wanted for this desk/space: something light, gentle, and inspiring.
"Connected" 2017 (Painting for Auction, 20% to Charity!)
In the past month or so, Willamina T. Mosenfelder and I have started collaborating on some pieces. For our first collaborative piece, we used a 16" x 20" pre-stretched canvas (stapled on back) and acrylic paints, finishing with a high gloss varnish. We each take our turns with the art piece, deciding on our own what to add, what the next step will be. We communicate very little about the piece to each other as to allow our own intuitions guide us on what we would like to do. We went back and forth working on the piece for a few weeks. Then, gave ourselves a deadline. And here we are! This painting is signed by both of us on the back of the work.
"Connected" (2017) can be seen below:

"Not to Scale" (2014) Installation (with Extra Lighting)
Cover of the Strategy Guide I'm working on currently.
Update: NTS
So, I've been doing huge updates to the game. And, I've been cruising along on the work for the Strategy Guide. For the next three days, it's crash course time: finish the Strategy Guide, paint the gallery walls, install the carpet, set up the desktop computer and table, finish the little things on the game, finish and print/bind the strategy guide... woah! I've got a lot to do. HERE WE GO!
The show "Already Broken: The Personal That is Not Ours" will open July 10th, and the reception is from 6pm to 8pm. The show is at the SVA Gallery in Chelsea, 601 W 26 Street, 15th Floor, New York, NY. The show will be up until August 6th. It's a group show featuring myself and my 13 colleagues in the program: MFA Art Practice (Class of 2015).
Screenshot of the work-in-progress!
Update: NTS
I've been working on quite a few changes for the game component of my art piece called "Not to Scale." I'm going to be updating the Current Projects page soon with more information. But, the game is changing, the installation plan is changing, and I'm very excited about it! The little flame dude in my screenshot is my tester character. Anyway, more soon.
Update: NTS
I've been continuing to work on the Not to Scale piece. I'm going to be switching out some equipment, once I find some things, for ones that better fit the idea. I'm also going to be going from rough draft to final draft on the wall and booklet components. Additionally, this weekend, Gus and I will be painting my studio off-white, because right now it's an awful shade of blue (which was the way it was when I moved in). Once I've got most of the pieces put together and assembled, I'll be able to share some pictures of the various components. The group show for our program opens in July, and this piece will be there, so stay tuned for more information as the date gets closer!
