What I’m working on – June 2026

Here’s an update on what I’m working on in June. Spoiler alert: much of it isn’t art related. It’s good stuff, just not the usual art biz.

Changing my mind

The one where I change my mind. Again. About taking donations for the work I do. Read on to learn how you can too!

What I’m working on – May 2026

Here’s an update of the projects I’m working on in May. I have lots of work out in the world at shows this month! Catch’em while you can!

Recharge

I took a road trip this past weekend and I love how it recharged my batteries. Make time to get outside and do something new.

Making Books

Making books is sorta like breathing at this point: sometimes I don’t even realize I’m doing it. A little history of my personal bookmaking.

What a week

I’ve been sick this week so instead of a thoughtful or touching art update you get a picture of my dogs waiting for carrots.

Working title

I talk about my list of possible titles and why I’m not deleting it. The take away is that you deserve to take your work seriously.

Make the thing

As close to a manifesto as I’ll probably ever get. Make whatever weird, wacky thing your heart loves and then shout about it.

My artistic growth

In the last essay I wrote for a grant, I talk about my artistic growth. How and where I’d use the money to continue my development.

My artistic communities

A peek inside the art grant writing process with one of my essays from a recent application. I talk about the artistic communities I’m in.
