Getting older is getting funner! the work of last 4 years is blossoming into opportunities I didn't even know existed. as a fellow at @vacenterforthecreativearts this Fall. No interruptions, home cooked meals, artist community in beautiful Blue Ridge mountains - ready!

So excited my cast crystal sculpture, Like Holding Water (2024), was selected for Emerge IX, a group exhibition showcasing emerging artists by Bond Millen gallery, Richmond, VA

I am so lucky to have the world's most terrible, distracting, and adorable studio assistant. He shows up whenever he wants, attacks my pins, falls asleep on the job, drools on my work, hates baths, and digs up my plants.

I am starting to think my cat likes my art. This piece was meant as my interpretation of Courbet's Origine du Monde 1866 painting (at Musee D'Orsay in Paris, but banned by the internet), from the perspective of the model as the createress of the universe, but if it works as a cat nest, so be it.
