Medical Themed Art Show in Cleveland

I'm pleased to announce my next solo show is April 4th at BAYarts!

While You Were At Art Basel Miami

Things I did while you were at Art Basel Miami... Tuesday Drank Gato Negro purchased from the gas station. Gave my cats a manicure. Ate salad for dinner and wanted to shoot myself.

It is a beautiful space, with fun eerie ambient music, a gift shop, and the layout and design of the exhibition is pretty fabulous.

Seven Years in Cleveland

This month marks 7 years since I decided I couldn't handle L.A. anymore and moved to Cleveland. It was a mildly impulsive choice, but everything fell into place at the right time for it to happen. I never thought I would end up living in Ohio! People always seem to think I was from here… Continue reading Seven Years in Cleveland

Last Minute Market

I wasn't sure I'd be in town, but looks like I will be here for the Cleveland Handmade Last Minute Market, taking place at the Screw Factory. If you missed the open studios on November 7th, come on down and get some gifts or just poke and see what we have going on. There will… Continue reading Last Minute Market
