String Box 3 & Red O

I've been trying to be more focused with my work and spend more time making a mess and playing than keeping my apartment perfectly neat.

Detail from String Box 3.


This tiny space is my current studio. I've given myself permission to be a little sloppier in my place.

Finished two pieces this weekend!

In the sun.

First up, String Box 3. A stitched watercolor.



Next up, Red O.

Red O. Solvent ink stencil over acrylic paint.


The stencil is by Cat Manolis, my teacher at ArtSpace Raleigh. I'm loving playing with solvent inks.

Ink is a whole new world to explore!
