If you are looking for inspiration to begin monoprinting, give The Liminal Print a try. All you need is a gelli plate, a brayer, some acrylic paint and a sense of adventure to get started! This book is my best attempt to communicate my love for printmaking and spread it to fellow art enthusiasts! A great way to explore mindfulness through creative process.

I’m grateful to have my piece, I Am Hope, included in the “Care” National Juried Exhibition South Haven Center for the Arts

I Am Hope weaves together memories shaped by care: the letters “M” and “A” for “Ma,” my mother’s recipe cards, pieces from my father’s scientific experiments, and my son Arthur’s name, recalling his acute childhood illness. Together, these fragments reflect caregiving as an expression of love, memory, and hope.

I love how this exhibit brought together so many powerful voices to share experiences of care, connection, vulnerability, and hope. Mindful of the healing that happens when creative process and hope collide.

As the CARE exhibition comes to a close on August 1st, I'm grateful to have my piece, Things Otherwise Unseen, included in this meaningful show.

This work reflects on how caregiving, illness, memory, and grief continue to shape us long after the visible moments have passed. Through layers of paint, collage, and memory, it explores the unseen emotional landscape of caring for those we love.

Thank you to the wonderful South Haven Center for the Arts for creating such a thoughtful exhibition and for bringing together so many powerful voices. Mindful of the power of art to heal.

So many choices. Can't decide! Mindful of the luxury of options.

Shrines, Altars, and Spiritual Things is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and discover how ordinary objects can become vessels for personal and spiritual meaning. Along with photographs and personal stories, you'll also find QR codes that lead to videos, allowing you to experience many of the artworks in a more immersive way.

I hope you'll take a look at the reel, and if it speaks to you, explore Shrines, Altars, and Spiritual Things. I would love to hear which artwork resonates with you most.

Shrines, Altars, and Spiritual Things explores the connection between art, spirituality, memory, and meaning. Through images, personal reflections, and QR-linked videos, I share my creative journey while inviting readers to create sacred objects of their own. Mindful of the joy of sharing my art with other creatives!

I did this painting a few months back and completely forgot about it! Surprise! It's a nice reminder of how much I LOVE to work with cold wax: Powertex especially, since You can mix it with acrylics. You get a creamy, tacky, textural surface with beautiful luminous color. Mindful of my favorite materials and the ways they let my creations speak.

In 2024, Ottillie's Basket found a home at the Detroit Institute of Arts as part of the Ofrendas: Celebrating El Día de Mu***os exhibition.

Now, as I prepare for my solo exhibition this September at the Adrian Center For The Arts the basket is being remade once again. I never know exactly where this process will lead. I simply follow intuition, adding, removing, and responding as meaning slowly reveals itself.

Ottillie's Basket isn't finished. It never really is. It continues to gather memory, significance, and new life each time it returns to my hands. Mindful of the unfolding of my own creative process.

I'm honored to have No Desserts Ever included in The Art of the Story exhibition at the Northville Art House in Northville, Michigan, through June 30.

Inspired by the beloved The Poky Little Puppy, this miniature assemblage invites viewers into a tiny world filled with playful puppies, vintage toys, alphabet blocks, and, of course, desserts that may—or may not—be earned. It's a celebration of childhood memories, storytelling, and the joy of discovering the little details.

If you're nearby, I'd love for you to stop in and experience the stories brought to life by all of the artists in the exhibition.

HOME: A National Juried Exhibition at Hera Gallery Hera Gallery (Wakefield, Rhode Island), juried by Heather Hakimzadeh, ran from May 16 through June 20, 2026. I was honored to have my piece, Stuff Long Forgotten, included in the exhibition.

The work offers a glimpse into the landscape of memory that shapes my sense of home. Centered on my mother's oven, it revisits fragments of childhood—sounds, smells, and moments that linger long after the objects themselves have disappeared. Through collage and layered imagery, Stuff Long Forgotten explores how home continues to exist in memory, carried forward in the things we remember and the meanings we attach to them. Mindful of the power of art as meaning maker.
