You can tell I was raised by a bunch of nerds, because having my art at the library cafe is just as exciting as having it in a fancy gallery. You can get a latte, a painting, and check out books ALL AT ONCE. Downtown Central Library, Austin.

My gay art made of trash is in a show that opens Friday. I made 13 pieces of work about Pride and queer joy and I made it all from upcycled/salvaged wood.

I started painting this XXL Death card in 2020, abandoned it, got it out last night to show a friend, and now my tiny pink dog thinks she is invisible behind it as I have my morning banana that she really really wants.

Murderbot earrings for @MarthaWells.com! I got to go to the watch party last night & celebrate with the found family group, & of course I had to make Martha a pair of earrings. I also made a book shaped gift box with a living hinge because I am nothing if not extra.

I'm warming up every day by painting a 1.5 inch tall boot I laser cut from scrap wood. I've done 22 days in a row, goal is 100!

Things are scary and I've been making art about it. This piece is just one out of an expanding collection that's all made from trash/salvaged materials. It's going to be a show at some point. I can't wait to share it with you. 🏳️⚧️🧿🌷

I love a lunch date with another artist friend, especially when they bring me a basket full of jewelry scrap for my trash project.
