RAC Arts3C Grant

June 18, 2024

I’m so excited to announce that I’ve received a RACC Arts3C Grant so that I might attend the ICON12 illustration conference this summer in Minneapolis, MN! I’m so grateful to RACC for making this possible for me. Conferences are such an important way for artists to network, build connections, and find new sources of inspiration and I couldn’t have made this happen without this funding.

At Least We're Not Alone Now at Imperfecta Gallery in Oregon City

April 16, 2024 in exhibits

My newest exhibition features a large selection of ceramic creatures, wall plates, and a few recent drawings on view through April 2024 at Imperfecta Gallery in Oregon City.

While creating the work for this show, I felt particularly focused on the character development of the creatures and women in my pieces. Playing around with stance, eye glances, and hand placement to see how they could interact with one another when placed in different arrangements. Or, in the case of the wall plates, how their different word bubbles could change once the context of their display arrangement was established.

A few pieces from the exhibit:
