Meow Wolf: House of Eternal Return
A friend and I visited Meow Wolf in Santa Fe, New Mexico over my Fall Break. It. Was. Breathtaking. Meow Wolf is an internationally known, immersive art experience founded in 2008 by a collective of artists. Their current show, House Of Eternal Return, was what was on display when we visited.

Getting out of Your Box and the Art of Having Coffee: Lessons in Cultivating A Creative Career
There’s something to be said about getting out of your comfort zone. For some of us, this may be going to a party solo, initiating a friendship, or travelling to a new destination. Professionally, it gets a bit more serious: making that cold call, attending a committee meeting, initiating a connection, or reaching out to…

Adventure Orange and on How The Cooperative Model of Business is Wonderful.
Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to become part of the Adventure Orange Artist Cooperative. Some of you might even remember my super-old video interview with Owner Anne Brown 4 years ago, when I was a bright eyed and bushy-tailed college art student. How time passes quickly in the state of constant motion! Since then, Adventure…

Things are starting to get reeeeeeally exciting. 😀 A good friend of mine is well on her way to finishing the highly anticipated forest-tromping character. And tonight (it’s about 3am, eek!) a most awesome art-music jam session was had- and we got a feel for…

I A Buidling A Forest.
It’s 3 am. I’m wide awake in my studio, finally slowing down a bit. I started a new project. 😀 I am building a forest. A continuation of my Illustration work (I think.) Remember this? 🙂 Take papercut ink drawings. Insert found objects, old book pages, yellowed paper. Make it 3d. Put it on a…

Travel Sketch #4: Slimy Seaweed Shells
Another continuation of my travel moleskine sketchbook that I took throughout Key West, The Bahamas, and a few other places. There was this network of rusty, algae-covered pipes with other equally-icky looking cords running underneath of the front porch of the floating house we were staying on in Key West. I would find myself staring…
