Show - This Friday! • • • • • February 10, 2008
I am excited to show off some new pieces (the start of a series, perhaps?) in a group show coming up this weekend!



Art Glut, curated by Alex Gartelmann
at The My House Gallery (2534 S. 8th Street (at Porter))
Opening Reception: Friday, February 15th 6pm to 9pm
Show runs until the 17th, with gallery hours 10am to 3pm Sat/Sun!

Not only does the salon-style exhibition of over 50 artists (!!) investigate one's experience of viewing a large amount of imagery/visual information, it is also making a statement about the abundance and availability of information today. Oof!

Hope to see you there.

Thank You!! • • • • • December 24, 2007
Hello neglected Blog readers!

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the Punk Rock Flea Market this past Saturday. It was an amazing experience! I entered the building at 9am heaving this overstuffed plastic bin and was absolutely thrilled to have a nearly empty box when leaving at 5:30pm!! I hope everyone enjoys their items as much as I enjoyed making them!

I am especially excited that I did so well at the sale because this means I get to make all new items! I have been tinkering around with some new blank book designs and some more designs that I think people responded well to.

Hopefully I can keep updating the Etsy site regularly and maybe someday I will have this website complete... (Do I smell a New Year's Resolution????)

Best to you all in the New Year!!
