A few little works I created at the @chicagocollagecommunity meetup earlier this month. It was so lovely to meet new people and share in creativity! Can't wait to get back for another one soon.

@judybowmanartist at @flintinstituteofart last weekend! I didn't expect these pieces to be so BIG. So beautiful. Don't miss the important story of her city and her life told here. Thank you! Also loved to see the work w. Romare Bearden @beardenfoundation_official a lot to consider, very moving.

Playing with new spray adhesive on this little #collagepoem I "wrote."

I see these pieces as #foundart as opposed to writing because the object (here sentences, phrases, or one word) already had a purpose.

The best thing about being an artist is spending the morning in memories and the evening in dreams of the future.

I am creating a series from a 2023 piece called "Letters From America" using 'found' stamped envelope cutouts. Bags of these cutouts were gifted to me.

20 people joined my collaborative #collage game at the sold out #BIDMIB hosted by Avenue for the Arts, Artprize + AllArtWorks in #GrandRapids MI!

Our challenge cards ranged from cutesy to disruptive, as we practiced #resiliency and #perspective together, closing with an appreciative #gallerywalk 🎨
