I’ve been working hard on this new series of screen printed floral banners! Each plant bringing you various attributes into your life. Each is a celebration of that plant, it’s magical associations, medicinal uses, folklore and history

Poppy-

Love, abundance, oblivion, sleep, dream world, pleasure, healing.

Poppy is considered feminine in action and resonates to the energy of the moon and the element of water.

Here is the poppy banner, now up on my Etsy!

Finally finished my first mural! It’s at Bald Man Brewery, which opens in less than a month in Eagan, MN. Logo design also by me!

Grateful for these days I can dedicate completely to drawing and sipping espresso, I’m working on about a million projects/commissions that I can’t wait to share! For now, here’s a stinging nettle plants because I love weeds.

Excited to finally share this! Here’s a sneak peak of my new body of work titled, “My Everyday Queen.” It consists of ten new drawings and paintings. It will be up at The Reverie (Formally the Nicollet) in Minneapolis for all of April and May. Come check it out if you’re in town!

This piece, titled “Continuity,” is 12″ by 17″ graphite and acrylic.

While drawing this at a coffee shop I got into a conversation with the woman sitting next to me, we started to talk about art so I showed her what I was working on. She says, “I see a moment, you know, where nothing else but your senses exist, none of that ‘other stuff.’ Like a sneeze or an orgasm. You know, where it’s no thoughts just your senses.” She gets me.

Thank you Lady for the thoughtfulness today.

The Conclusion (Love That, Not Me Apart From That)

I took some found fabric and dyed it with all natural materials (Berries, onion skins, and tea) then using found garbage and recyclable goods as stamps, I printed on these mandala designs. So happy with how it turned out! 

As Artists, we should be responsible about the materials we use, recycle and show care for the environment in the work we are producing. Lets go back to the old ways of handcrafting!
