Studio, July

 

Jaime's Bowl, 2023, chalk pastel on paper, 22x22"

I loved working on this commission - the clients wanted a particular terra cotta color matched on the paper below the bowl... and if you know me, then you know color matching is one of my most favorite things ever. I had the best time mixing color swatches in order to get the flavor just right. Such a fun project. 

Happy Pride!

 

Stay safe out there, friends. 

Still at Southside Gallery

 

This past Friday was the opening reception for my first solo show with Southside Gallery. Thank you so much to Wil Cook and the Southside team for the warm welcome and lovely reception! The gallery is absolutely beautiful, and everyone I met was so kind. There are about 50 new paintings in the show; take a look at some of the pieces below or, if you're nearby, head over to Oxford, MS and see it in person. The show is up through May 27th.

Installation Photos at Earlham College

 

Thanks for walking through my two-person show with Lauren Darrouzet at Earlham College. This was so fun to put together - I love seeing the visual connections between her metalwork and my paintings. The colors and shapes harmonize so interestingly in the gallery.

I've been documenting and retouching a set of recent paintings, in preparation for an upcoming solo show this May. Here's a sneak peek at three of my current favorites. Enjoy!
