Really happy to say that my essay on medical imaging and art was picked up by the medical humanities journal, Hektoen International. The Amputee Venus painting is one of the only paintings I chose to keep for myself. But, it will be on view at the renowned Zygote Press (along with a few other paintings from… Continue reading Medical Art and Memeography

Motivational Talk: Radio Guest on LoLo Knows
If you ever wanted hear me blab about the music industry, art, Joan Crawford, my awesome husband, and why after everything I've been through medically I just suck it up (despite a cat sitting on my catheter bag), well then, you are in luck! I was invited to co-host on motivational talk show LoLoKnows earlier this week. Fair… Continue reading Motivational Talk: Radio Guest on LoLo Knows
Art in Medical Arts: Show It, Don’t Tell It
Studying anatomy was never something that I took seriously or practiced much in art school. In fact, I kind of sucked at it. So as a result I've gone with a very mannerist approach with distorting anatomy of my figures here and there. It is all very strange, considering my new fascination the last four… Continue reading Art in Medical Arts: Show It, Don’t Tell It
Snaps from the Reception at BAYarts
I have to say I think that was the most packed art reception I ever had! I didn't think so many people would come out (all the way to the westside) let alone in the rain, but there we had it! My pals K&G even flew in all the way from San Francisco and we… Continue reading Snaps from the Reception at BAYarts
Down To the Wire!
I finished the paintings and the stories! I could still spend another few weeks "correcting" and tweaking them, but I guess that won't be happening. I have never, ever, worked this close up to a show. I don't like the feeling at all! Good thing I use Gamvar varnish that dries quickly. Big thanks to… Continue reading Down To the Wire!
Medical Themed Art Show in Cleveland
I'm pleased to announce my next solo show is April 4th at BAYarts! I have been teaching kids classes at the beautiful BAYarts campus in Bay Village for several years now, so I'm really excited to be exhibiting there.

One Of My Favorite Places
I'd like to mention a fun gift for any doctors, history nerds, or the plain morbidly curious people on your gift list. A membership to the Dittrick Museum! At the Friend level you get this sweet book. Even my husband was like 'woa this book is nice!' and he's not even into that kind of… Continue reading One Of My Favorite Places
Forceps, Stethoscopes, and Ivory Babies
What are some of the things I do on weekdays? Well, go to the Dittrick Medical History Center, of course. I'm gearing up for my next solo show, and although I know what I'm going to do as far as the medical history inspiration, one can never have done enough research. For the show my… Continue reading Forceps, Stethoscopes, and Ivory Babies
Ephemeral Antidotes: The Whole Collection
Here's the whole shebang! The opening reception for the show was pretty awesome and the look and feel of the whole thing was highly appropriate at Loved To Death/Articulated Gallery. It was so amazing to have so much family and friends there, not to mention collectors I had yet to meet, and even some old… Continue reading Ephemeral Antidotes: The Whole Collection
