Arabella's art and culture with a dash of gas
Lately things have been weird but good, too. I've gotten quite a bit of press and features which is nice. It's always hard to cut through the noise of media in general, and I never know who sees my work, who reads about it, if they come across it in unexpected places, if they even… Continue reading Paintings in Print (and on 7 inch records)

I normally don't put much stock into horoscopes -- let alone the Astro Twins -- but the description was a little too on the mark and specific with my situation as I was negotiating a gallery space. I'm glad the show got moved to the late fall!
I pleased to announce I was awarded a Artists with Disabilities Access Program grant by the Ohio Arts Council in an effort to bring my biomorphic series together as a solo exhibition for the first time!
