Circle of Stones is a garden party in the dead of night, attended by the gentry and good* folk of the forest. A midnight garden party, while enchanting, is a dangerous place to find yourself. This is where the edges of the miraculous and malevolent blur. The offerings around the gallery are gifts of these bizarre gardeners. Their solemn charge is to nurture the blooming fruit before us and encourage us to wander the paths of their arcane labyrinth.

The artists included in Circle of Stones use materials such as paint, porcelain, thread, human hair, lenses and debris to place themselves in relation to the (un)natural world. The artists explore the mythos of the wilds, portals to parallel realms, and how we as humans value the living things around us. At times that value is illustrated through precious marveling and at other times through psychological terror.

Is latergram still a thing? This was a beautiful workshop I facilitated with UC Irvine Health called “Scar Print for Burn Survivors” in early May. Thank you for hosting me UCI Health UCI Burn ! “Scar prints” are something I teach and use as a source material in my paintings. I print them directly from my body much like a relief print.

As an artist and burn survivor myself I know the power of art to connect us with ourselves and with community. Making art of any kind requires a leap of faith because we are making something that never existed before. This creative risk-taking is a growth opportunity for anyone who wants to get more comfortable with uncertainty and build confidence in themselves. Making prints from our burn scars allows us to see our bodies in a totally new context. Printed on paper, our scars become more than just symbols of pain and trauma; they turn into beautiful shapes, textures, and colors filled meaning and purpose. I created the workshop because I wanted to share this tool with other survivors to help folks reconnect to their bodies and begin to see their scars as a creative wellspring. Making the prints side by side in community unlocks the stigma and encourages us to share our stories in a safe environment. I was burned in 2011 and I know for me the prints have been personally transformative so I’m honored to be able to facilitate that for others.

FEAST FOR THE BANALITY OF GOOD
Oil on linen, 74 x 63 inches

It’s time to let the evil out.

On view in /ANOTHER HIT/ in San Antonio, TX. Opening June 5th across two venues at Fl!ght Gallery and 115 Blue Star . Thankful to curator .g.human for the invitation to exhibit with this amazing group.

“Art is a powerful force at every moment in history, and in especially difficult moments it is even more vital. It can be a manual for resisting, a release valve, or a reminder of our humanity. Artists in this show, across two venues, invite viewers to oppose dehumanizing systems with creativity, humor, and beauty.”

Super humbled to show with this roster of artists including some of my art heroes. Robert Pruitt, Vincent Valdez…a dream! And much gratitude to who gave me the time and space to jump start this work.

Fireweed
Oil on linen
10 x 12 inches

Thrilled to show this small painting in TONIC: A Medicinal Flora & Fungi at Ghost Gallery Opening tomorrow night March 13th 5-8pm.

This painting depicts two hands caressing a fireweed blossom. The hands are created from my “scar prints” and placed alongside a fire-resilient northwest native plant. Aptly named, fireweed is one of the first plants to return post-wildfire. It is, in fact, rejuvenated, by fire. The “scar print” is a source material I create by printing directly from my body, which was injured in a fire. It transforms the disfigured body into abstracted prints and here, with the hands reaching toward new blossoms, ties the body to an ecological lifecycle of both destruction and regeneration. Nature knows we must hold hope even in moments of pain.

Come see all the beautiful work! And congrats to Ghost Gallery for celebrating 20 years this year of Art & Community! Join us at their Pacific Place location (2nd floor) to kick off

Just returned from the island. Wow. I’m so grateful to Vashon Artist Residency for the time and space to be totally immersed in a new body of work. After spending much of the last two years on portrait commissions I feel like my studio practice is finally reignited. I went from months of designing and tip toeing into small works to stretching multiple 6 ft canvases on the wall, big brushes and 10 hour painting days. I missed that physicality of working large; dancing with fear of total failure. Unbeatable. Nothing is complete but the energy is back and it feels like it’s here to stay. Thank you so much to the generous founder Cathy Sarkowsky and incredible executive director Heather Dwyer for creating such a container of possibility. I cannot recommend this program highly enough.

those who would climb through the hole in the sky...” Joy Harjo

Thank you above all to my fellow artists-in-residence Amir Sommer and Daren Todd , my new dear friends who gazed with me upon the sky. I can’t wait to say I knew you back when. Look out for these two, they are charting a map to a better world. Much love xoxo

Looking back at 2025..here is my official portrait of Washington State University President Emeritus Kirk Schulz! I worked on this spring and summer and we unveiled the final work at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU in September. Thank you President Schulz, Dr. Noel Schulz, and the entire WSU team that collaborated to make this possible. It was an honor to bring your vision to life.

Special thanks to the committee who guided this work: Executive Director of Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art Ryan Hardesty and all the museum staff, Dean of Libraries Trevor Bond, Chair and Professor of Art Squeak Miesel, former Office of the President Community Engagement Director Jeanne Weiler, and many others.

The background depicts a scene from the WSU Tri-Cities campus: Collaboration Hall, a new science and engineering building founded during Kirk Schulz’s tenure, with the dusty w**e country in the distance. He holds a book called “Leading with the Crimson and Gray,” a WSU publication documenting previous presidencies.

Collection of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at WSU, in partnership with the Office of the President.
