Friday, October 23rd, 2009With the show, the space I was most excited about was the wall installation. I definitely had some ideas and pre-planning done before I got to the gallery. But, the design really took shape once I got into the space and started working. I had 4 art students from the University that helped me with [...]
New from the Studio
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009The show opening last Friday night was great. I had such a good experience being on campus, talking with students, and putting the show together. These are a few of the new pieces I did for the show. I’m pretty sure this first one is my new favorite. The background is a mix of IKEA fabric and [...]

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009If for some reason you happened to find yourself out in Abilene, TX this Thursday or Friday stop by the Shore Art Gallery on ACU Campus. I’ll be speaking about my art and career on Thursday morning at 10am.

Taking My Art Out West
Monday, October 12th, 2009Can we make the craziness stop? I’ve been an art making machine these last several weeks. I’ve got a solo show opening this Friday night out in West Texas in the town of Abilene. I’m doing an alumni show in the University Gallery where I did my undergrad. I’ve got big plans for the space, I [...]
Natalie Macellaio
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009A few years ago my parents gave me a Tanzanite gemstone and told me they would pay for me to have it set however I wanted. I LOVE Tanzanite and this one was particular large and beautiful! I kept it in a drawer not knowing what to do with it, but wanting something really special. [...]
Valentino
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009Jen has raved to me about the beauty of the documentary Valentino: The Last Emperor . She said it was a must see and she was so right. This weekend I was working on some art projects and put on the Valentino film from my Netflix stream.
The documentary takes a behind the scenes look at the last [...]
Jason Hackenwerth
Thursday, September 24th, 2009I just ran across the art of Jason Hackenwerth via swissmiss. he’s creating these amazing creature like sculptures out of balloons. I can’t express the amount of love I have for this work. I think what I enjoy the most is the temporary nature of the sculptures. The beauty of them transforms as they deflate until a remnant [...]
Damien Hirst for Levi’s?
Thursday, September 17th, 2009I love him and I hate him. I spent countless hours in graduate school devoted to the discussion of his art and career. In the end I came to admire him.
And this is old news, but I missed it. Damien Hirst teamed up with Levi’s to create a limited edition clothing line? Really? Check it [...]
Saturday Art Part 2: Deep Ellum/Fair Park
Friday, September 11th, 2009After leaving the Design District area I’ll be headed straight to Deep Ellum to check out Jen’s mural. I think it is just so cool that she created something public and outdoors. I love it when art moves out of the gallery. Go Jen!
Then I’ll head toward Fair Park and stop by Central Trak and [...]
