I pretty much haven’t left my studio for the last 10 hours. Im preparing for a show that I’m hanging tomorrow morning and I think that I had to have walked at least a mile today while pacing all over this room!

Finally….I’ve had a sudden burst of inspiration. I love when this happens. It seems to be the best side of me and I don’t want to leave the studio when it happens. I have three shows just around the corner and I have been worried that I wouldn’t have anything new. As usual though, if I have a little pressure and a deadline approaching, I perform at my best. Here are the dates and locations of my upcoming shows:
I have a reception on February 4th from 10-noon at Ozark Natural Foods
March-April my work will be on display at NWACC (location TBA)
July is my large show with John L. Newman of The University of Arkansas at the Arts Center of the Ozarks.




i have recently fallen head over heels for the artist ben shahn. his work is spectacularly inspiring.

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.



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!
Found via nazara lazaro via joanne

finding the old flame

sharing is caring
i just spent the last hour looking at this guys site. something has to be said about his work if i spent so long looking at it. i just thought id share it with you guys…
{I have to thank charla for sendng me the link}


here…i’ll share some inspiration with you
cody hoyt’s work is impeccable, and the processes behind them seem tedious….his dedication to a single piece of work can only raise your appreciation for what he’s doing here. most of his pieces involve many layers onto one work of art { including: silkscreen, etching, gouache, and lithography to name a few}.

today my brother turns 36.
wow, i bet my mom feels old…heh.
nothing better than a little dose of martha rich on your birthday.


there isnt much to say here other than amazing.



every now and then i come across an artist that blows my mind. dana ray {found via my love for you…} is now that artist. her work nearly made me cry it was so refreshing to see. okay, thats an exaggeration…but really, its freaking amazing!!

ive got you on my mind
okay, so i have been searching for inspiration alot lately, and matthew dent seemed to do it for me. thank you matthew.
i only thought i was done posting for today until i came across celine clanet’s photography via humble arts foundation, then i couldnt resist! {confession: in love i am}
this robert kingston piece makes me happy. robert currently teaches painting and drawing at Pierce College in Woodland Hills, California. though this is one of his older works {2003}, it no doubt shows off his impressive eye for color and design…
