30 Under 30: Posters

I am so grateful to be a part of organizing this exhibition! Our mission is to put forward 30 amazing international artists under the age of 30. These talented people are ones to keep your eye on because of their progressive works, concepts and techniques. 

Glitches of Late

I have been doing a little painting and a little digital work recently. Here are some interesting turn outs...

I've always dreamed of designing an album cover, haven't yet found a bad that fits the work. If this feels like your music please feel free to reach out! 

A+ to anyone who gets the text reference, no relation to any actual bands.

Art Into Dusk: Alberta's January Last Thursday

This past Thursday was the monthly Alberta art walk and I was honored to be a part of it! If you have the chance to, I'd highly recommend a stroll down this artsy street. Especially between 6-9 of any Last Thursday of the month. While summer months are busy and packed, the winter and spring will be full of warm galleries, lovely people and (I'm sure) some wine.

I would first like to thank the lovely Julie Ruckman for hosting my show. If you need a new up-do or a trim definitely check out Zuzu Organic Salon and their gallery while you're at it!

At the Alberta Studios there was an amazing array of work. Here are a few artists I found particularly inspiring:

Just across the hall from me was Megan McGuinness. You can find her work at http://askthemoonart.com/ 

Also the work of Ariel Zimman as well as Cooper Jeppsen were fantastic:

"StuStuStudio presents Beyond Archipelago, a collection of ceramic works by ceramic artist Ariel Zimman of RELM STUDIOS, featuring collaborative pieces with Cooper Jeppesen."

Here are a few shots from my show in the Alberta Studios at the Zuzu organic salon and gallery!

Working big, working small and working hard. Gearing up for a little show for the Alberta arts district monthly "Last Thursday" art walk!

So close!

New Year, New toys, New work!

Hey everyone! I have a good feeling about 2015, the past 6 months or so have been a huge transition from graduation, into a new city, adjusting to a new  schedule and way of life beyond school. Here are some exciting new things happening!

A generous gift from a neighbor, a craftman table saw. This is so great! I can finally build my own stretchers at home!

A new investment: The shapeoko 3, a cnc mill. 

Now just look at this beautiful machine, if cnc is your thing then this may be the tool for you! I preordered mine! 

New work!

I have some paintings in progress, sculptures are still in sketch and planning phases. Finally I have taken the step up to push the scale of my work. I think it is working out well. 50x70 inches
