Happy Halloween!
Recently, I discovered Kinsley has been making art videos WITHOUT me. So, as a little surprise for her, I edited one of her videos into a Halloween Special and uploaded it to YouTube. To make this craft, all you need is some paper and markers. Then, to compliment the video, I created two templates: a witch and a warlock. So, if you’re looking for a […]
Mother Daughter Guidebook: The Conclusion
We are now onto the final week of my exhibition, so it’s time for Part 3 of my Mother Daughter Guidebook: The Conclusion. Last but not least, I would like to take this time to talk about my small works. Naturally, the larger works have a tendency to get more attention by both me and others, yet the small works will always hold a special […]
Mother Daughter Guidebook: The Daughter Series
We are now onto Part 2 of my Mother Daughter Guidebook. Within my exhibition, you may have noticed a series of fabric works which I call the Daughter series. The work is mixed media, combining printmaking on fabric, sewing and collage. The textiles are made through nature printing, using the impressions of plants to create a variety of patterns.

With my exhibition now open, I thought I’d take this time to walk through some of my pieces. A virtual guidebook if you will.

So, in an […]

Despite COVID, I am thrilled to announce Mother Daughter will be open to the public. It’s been a tough few months preparing for the exhibition, however, thanks to the remarkable support of Spokane Art School, as well as my friends and family, the show is finally here. The two large quilts my mother and I made during quarantine will be in the exhibition, as well […]
Appreciating the Small Things
It’s easy to come to this state in which everything merely exists. Yet, behind every manmade item — from a little mug to a great architectural feat, was a person. A person who thought this thing was of value. Whether it’s the color of someone’s wall or a work of art in a living room, a decision was made. Granted, there may have not been […]
