something full of meaningless symbols. satisfying nonetheless.
an outdoor installation obviously influenced by the work of the spectacular andy goldsworthy.
i found this while flipping through a book at the library yesterday. i find great comfort and inspiration in this watercolor by charles demuth from 1918.
wish i could say that i made this, but unfortunately jennifer davis beat me to it! this would have made my christmas wish list had it not already been sold out.
i LOVE these digital prints of collages that brandi strickland has created.
*note: these are for sale for a very reasonable price at little paper planes.
here are some photos of a project i completed a few weeks ago. i dont have the final piece photographed yet. im hoping to use a documenting station on campus that will allow for some amazing photos. so hopefully you can see that soon! until then, here is a glimpse, which seems to be all i have been showing you lately. sorry about that.
a little something i made last week. i have been coming back to this chair a lot lately in my work.
i spilled coffee onto cold press watercolor paper, allowed it to dry, then cut it out. i then sewed the dried spill onto foam board with my sewing machine, then sewed a small corduroy patch onto the spill by hand. after all of this, i stitched the foam board piece into a cut out square that was larger (not shown)…..i think a photo can say way more than i am trying to right now, and do a whole lot better job….i will post more photos of the completed stitched coffee spills. in the mean time….here is a preview.
a line drawing created in nature. i found this hanging cord on the horizontal lines simply beautiful.
jonathan so graciously volunteered to make invitations for our upcoming potluck. he knows that my time is extremely tight these days and that i would want to do more than i had time to do. hes definitely raising the bar. is it fair to say that im fortunate for such an incredible man?
a recent sculpture that I made that was on display at the university of arkansas campus. these are cast wax needles with nylon rope acting as the thread. there were four in total, two of which are still on display until the end of this week. the meaning is simply a literal translation of the connection that i feel with nature when sewing something by hand. i was pretty satisfied with the end product, besides the fact that the wax was softened by the heat of the sun, it still worked out.

found these today…thought id share some beauty.
have a lovely day!
chuck close’s painting titled “keith” featured at the st louis art museum. even though we made it to the museum 30 minutes before closing time, we were still able to see a few amazing pieces…..this being one of them. raine particularly liked this one.
i took a wheel-throwing class this past summer and this is what i have to show for it. i thoroughly enjoyed this class. though i am almost done with school, i hope to do more of this in the future.

hello there. yes….
…it has been too long. i hope that this post is the beginning of many. i have so much to catch you all up on. unfortunately i am not at my own computer and am unable to post images from my lovely summer. but in hopes of reconnecting, i will share some inspiration with you.
It’s been a while I know…not posting on my blog does not mean that I have stopped producing art though. I have a sketch in the current issue of underground art school‘s magazine! I was pretty excited to be a part of this magazine! To preview or purchase, just click the image above!
does it get any better than this? ive been burning to create this sort of performance/living art for a few months now. one of my plans is to place an empty strip of primed canvas in a highly trafficked area and let the canvas be created by the elements its surrounded by. essentially…leave a snail trail. i cannot express to you how much seeing Semâ Bekirovic‘s piece excites me!

our rocking chair painted in watercolor.
as i was eating my first clementine for the day (thanks to abby for my new addiction to them), i noticed the little trees that they contained within the peel. i foresee a softground etching in the future! these would make perfect little tree imprints onto a plate to etch….im excited with the ideas and possibilities that my little clementine forest contains!
hope you all have a nice weekend!
{this is what happens when you leave a 6 year old alone with a pin cushion!}
im glad the semester is over.
summer school begins soon…<sigh>
i re-printed these from an etch i did a year ago. i added some color; i think they turned out pretty nice.
checking out where to go next...
a little explosion of silent energy near a beckman piece...
