Another fun event coming up this week!

The IMS Sweaters and Sweets event is just days away on Thursday, December 4th, from 10 am to 3 pm.

This is the perfect opportunity to gather holiday treats, shop unique gifts from our local artist vendors, and experience the festive atmosphere. Santa will be at the INTERSOURCE by STARK showroom for photos and treats!

Thank you so much for commissioning this vinyl as well ! It was so fun to listen to your recommendations as inspiration for these pieces and dive into research about the history of this band.

Good luck with the rest of your tour,

These two are from a collection I made for an event in February, 2023. I believe that event was crucial to my growth and confidence as being an artist.

I have been having so much fun painting on old vinyl records! And finding new ways to represent myself with eye flowers.

Only about a week left to see my work up at Pizza Lucé in St. Paul, so scoot on over if you are in the area!

These three pieces, ʙᴜʀɢᴇᴏɴɪɴɢ, ᴛʜᴇ ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ ᴍʏꜱᴛᴇʀʏ ᴏꜰ ʟɪꜰᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ɴᴀꜱᴄᴇɴᴛ are all new and curated specifically around the theme of growth. They will be on display at pizza luce in St. Paul until the end of July!

All three of these incorporate found art that I gave a new meaning and life. This is a concept that I have been drawn to for a while and reappears in my art.
