I’ve enjoyed creating this collection more than I anticipated. I wasn’t sure what would come of it, only that I had a vision and needed to see it through.
I believe that, as an artist, I have a responsibility to envision what comes next and share that vision in hope to inspire collective action.

I’m currently in the middle of An Indigenous People’s History of the United States and looking forward to the House by the Cerulean Sea as my next audio listen!
Can’t wait to get into more details with this piece!

Happy Sunday!
How are you resting?
How are you showing up for those you love?
May this day be gentle.
Making progress on this second piece and already finding ways to improve the first. I thinks that’s part of this creative process!

We Belong to Each Other.
“Without community there is no liberation”- Audra Lorde
There is so much goodness in humanity, and I believe that we will get to where we are going.
To where we dream possible.
But it will take all of us.
We Belong to Each Other.

One of my favorite things to do is try and envision what all of the different living spaces will look like.
Who might live there.
What they might like.
One thing is for sure.
There will be books.
And, there will be plants!

This first large piece has been a significant lesson in patience and letting go of perfect 😮💨
But, I am loving it!
There’s no rushing process- it must unfold as it will.❤️
Here’s a little peak into a finished vignette! #wip #artist #paperartist

9+ hours of building (putting it together) and over 2,000 adhesives later we are now in the homestretch!
Two months of cutting paper and painting and designing and it feels good to have it all built into one cohesive element!

Slow and steady progress over here.
2025 is the year of getting back to the roots of Paper. The People, the details, and the conviction.
Sometimes, you gotta take a big step back to recalibrate and find your feet again.
Feet are found.
It is time.

Feels good to be getting back to the roots of Paper.
Gimme all those little bits and bobs.
And, trees. Gimme all the big, big trees.
1600 leaves and counting…

Thank you for your year-round support! I truly am so grateful!
These little dancing Santa ornaments are designed for mixing and matching! Of course there are the traditional reds and greens, but these pop colors truly are my favorite!☺️

None of us are free until all of us are free.
I’m considering stocking this as stickers because messages of liberation must be shared far and wide. And I am all for finding additional ways to give back with what is created with Paper for the People. Lemme know if you’d be interested!

I've got a handful of VP, soon-to-be-President? Kamala Harris in the shop if you're looking to celebrate a chance at saving some semblance of a SCOTUS in the years to come.
10% of proceeds will go to the ACLU.
