Me in Lisa Waud’s Memory Forest
Born and raised in Detroit, my current body of work explores the relationships between nature and the city through primarily printmaking but also fiber and ceramics. My work has been shown locally and nationally, including at the Detroit Institute of Arts. As an artist-in-residence at Arts & Scraps, I made art from recycled materials. With my friends, I co-owned Ocelot Print Shop, a community screen printing shop in Detroit’s Cass Corridor, for five years. My work has appeared in Bridge Detroit, CultureSource, and Runner Magazine. I am the co-founder of POMPOM (Printmakers of Michigan Printing on Materials), and member of Fiber Club* and Still Life Ceramics Studio. I maintain a studio practice at home in Detroit and work as a teaching artist. (Here is my CV.)
You can find my work for purchase IRL at Signal-Return and POST and online in my Etsy shop. You can also join my Patreon, where I create and send to Patrons a new screen printed postcard every month.
My studio mate, Bernadette the greyhound.
I’m not on social media, but I send out monthly studio updates via my email newsletter. If you want to hear from me more often, I post weekly studio updates to my Patreon.
In March 2024, I led Drawing Upside Down: A Low-Pressure Sketchbook Practice, which was a fun virtual drawing workshop with 334 attendees for CreativeMornings FieldTrips. I shared how drawing upside down changed my sketchbook practice and how it helped alleviate some of the anxiety I felt with keeping up with my sketchbook.
