My Artist Residency at Nemacolin Resort in Farmington, Fayette County, Pennsylvania has been awesome! I have enjoyed creating here so much alongside my studio mate, Claire Hardy. The time is surely flying by way too fast as all of the moments have been enjoyed and utilized. I’ve created many new pieces in the studio and quite a few have found new homes across the USA and beyond. I am honored to share as well that I was approved to feature paintings in the main gallery at Nemacolin and many of those pieces have sold. I will continue to feature various prints and paintings in the studio while at Nemacolin. My Residency sadly will come to a close on September 15, 2021. I am looking forward to creating until the very last moment… Have a great day everyone!

I am honored and excited to be featured as one of the guest Artists for the “AT HOME” projects with the Young At Art Museum. Create your own natural style from HOME with an activity inspired by my “Nature Series”. My work is constructed by my visceral and emotional reactions to daily experiences, whether in exploration of nature or from trekking city streets. Express your personal journey through color theory, mathematics, and abstraction and create a unique geometric style.

“Brown Ballerinas For Change” | Montana Cans aerosol and Golden Mural paint on brick | 23′ x 15′ | Located on the corner of Main and Granby in the FAN District of Richmond, VA.
The “Brown Ballerinas for Change” collaborative mural with Nico Cathcart has been completed in the Fan District of Richmond, Virginia on the corner of Main and Granby streets. The mural is inspired by the activism and power of the four young women who make up Brown Ballerinas for Change. The mural contains all four ballerinas unified together in a graceful jump with a sparrow in flight symbolizing renewal and change. We are all so thankful for the uplifting energy that Ava, Kennedy, Sophia, and Shania have gifted the country. The mission of B.B.F.C. is to help create advocacy, social justice, and to increase participation of underrepresented populations in ballet. Nico and I are incredibly honored to have worked with this group of powerful young women. Thank you to Dogtown Dance Theatre , Richmond Community ToolBank and @emmeister16 for sponsoring this project and to @delaney_hall for the feature on ABC 8News – WRIC. Please visit the site at www.brownballerinasforchange.com and support B.B.F.C.
