Killing June

"Fin and Feather"

Just finished this piece for the COLORIMETRY show at WAAS GALLERY. I have another large canvas to complete then I'm focusing on some small affordables and that will be the last push because....it's almost time! EEK! There's been some great PR on the event so far and I'm waiting for my stress to kick in. Right now I'm in strangely calm zone....for someone who isn't done with her work and has chaos falling in all around her, this is weird. Maybe this is zen? Maybe I have discovered there's nothing I can do any faster or magically and this is what it is and am okay with that? Or maybe I'm in for a delayed freak out any day now? I guess we'll see!
Today I'm ordering printed fabric and starting on the large canvas but since the secrets out on facebook I wanted to post it here too. The collaboration I have been talking about is with renowned graffiti artist SONER and we will be debuting it at the COLORIMTERY show. If you're not familiar with SONER he has some work at the Dallas Contemporary thru August, go check it out! He's also left his mark all over the nation and I was super psyched to get the chance to work with him on canvas.

The other artist I'm exhibiting with is Neil Matthiessen. His work ranges from printed digital pieces to vinyl installations. I'm excited to see this show put together and am feeling really good about this show
I, of course, have some other little nice surprises to show -like what fashion designer am I working with on what amazing little project? So many things you'll have to come to the show and see firsthand! Ok, gotta run and get some painting done. Have a great week!

Words!

  Hello! I haven't blogged since last year. Even writing the word "blog" felt foreign and weird! I have actually been writing stuff on my Patreon account so if you've missed the updates you can sign up for free over there. There is also an option to pay a few dollars a month to help support me as an artist and get "extra" content- in case you are of that mindset and either way- thank you for caring about the art adventures.  I have missed blogging actually. I guess I like to make words, string them together like a pretty necklace and let them live their own expressive life wrapped around me.  Times are different. Times are weird! But I guess you know that. And also times are the same and as old as time. Is it really more terrible than any other time or are we humans just more "connected" to the propaganda and daily bad trip in a way that is insane and unhealthy? Either way I do my best to keep my sanity and I don't believe about 98% of what I s...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie.  I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...
