Pictures from my show at ZACC!

A retrospective show and a newspaper article!

I had a write up in the newspaper today for my retrospective show at ZACC Gallery in Missoula, MT.  It features over 80 pieces of work from 1998-present.  It's been wonderful seeing the work up and gaining perspective on my own evolution. You can check out the article at the link below! Below that is some of the work I will have on display!

Poster for Summer MADE Fair, Caras Park, June 30th, 2013

Here is the poster I created for the MADE Fair, a bi-annual craft fair held in Missoula.
I love creating these, and I have been lucky enough to illustrate them for four years now.
 It seems that every time I draw one, they get more intricate!

Commission piece for Montana Book Award winner "The Miseducation of Cameron Post", by Emily Danforth

I was commissioned to make this piece of art to present to the winner of the Montana Book Award this year.  It was a great opportunity to dive into the symbols in a book, as well as work on something sculptural, rather than a drawing.  I went to the awards ceremony last night and presented the author, Emily Danforth, with the dome.  The book, "The Miseducation of Cameron Post", was a beautifully written coming of age YA novel.  I highly recommend it!

The Helmet Project for Missoula Bicycle Works

"Upon the Return of the Little Prince to the Asteroid B-612", Polymer Clay, Found Objects.


I am participating in The Helmet Project.
Twenty artists were given Bell Helmets to make art on.
This is my creation.
I automatically saw the helmet as a planet, and the idea
for the Little Prince evolved from that!
I am trying to develop my sculptural work,
and it has been quite a challenge for me!
