little H (that’s what I call my inner child) would be so proud of us.

Girl, we wear overalls nearly EVERY day. 💜

Furls: I-IV have been hiding away in the corner since their one-time debut last December… curled inward and waiting.

These furls represent the fiddlehead: rebirth, renewal, potential.

Like these pieces I have been on a journey inward and have brought all my artwork home (except for what’s at First Branch Coffee) to reform my relationship with my creative practice. During this period, I have shown up in the community offering grief workshops, started grad school, and in the last couple months have developed a severe allergy to my own environment.

Part of this allergy journey is purging most of my belongings, including clothing, furniture, and sadly most of my collage supplies (thank you to those who scooped up a significant portion of them in my stories the other day). Digging into this purge, it would be lovely, and quite frankly incredibly relieving, to depart with a chunk of my artwork.

Over the next months, I will be posting artwork I would love to see you all have. If my suggested price is out of your range but the piece(s) call to you, let’s talk. I love barters and skill swaps.

Furls: I-IV would love to find their new spot in your home, your office, your bathroom, wherever you like. Two of them are 17.5” x 6” and the other two are 16” x 6”. Suggested pr!ce is $100 for a single, $350 for all four.

Message me if interested and maybe share with a friend?

“37”

Well, it’s my 38th birthday today, and for those of you who might know (or perhaps you’re a recent friend), I make a birthday collage each year to reflect on the rotation. It’s really interesting to see my own evolution in these bookmarks of my journey.

37 was full of twists & turns, learning & unlearning, grief & joy, a whole spectrum of experience forcing me to surrender.

I’m still out here, my art practice is in a quiet evolution, and I will have new things to share with you all soon.

xoxo

(for the details ppl… shirt was thrifted at You are the sun, a classic frog by Mo Elliott, and a crop & pocket redo by yours truly).

THiS iS TeMPORaRY & WHAT iS eNOugH

the more this piece is handled, the more it falls apart, all the edges exposed and raw.

you can see/purchase this work at until July 18 for the ✨Expressive Fibers Exhibit✨

(the colors on the “what is enough” side do remind me of Burger King and it was certainly not intentional… but have it your way, or whatever)

Hi, friends!

I spent the morning swapping out my works at ✨

The centerpiece “Bicameral” (a collab between and I) is out for your viewing pleasure, as well as some other little sweeties.

I have also left a cart full of collage supplies in the corner to play with while you’re visiting First Branch. If you’ve missed the community collage nights, now is your chance to contribute to the growing art wall!

(please follow the instructions provided on the cart if you want to join in the fun 🥰)

OH, and blessed Pride Month from this q***r to you 🌈
