Happy Halloween!
I'm excited to announce that I'll be participating in this year's Roadworks Steamroller Printing Festival at San Francisco Center For the Book on September 24th! I’ve been carving away on a giant piece of linoleum and (fingers crossed!) it’s almost time to see it printed. See a preview below!
Roadworks is a family-friendly, daylong block party featuring public printmaking, bookmaking, and hands-on art activities. It celebrates printmaking and the art of the book in a spectacular way: printing 3’ by 3’ carved linoleum blocks using a 7-ton 1924 Buffalo Springfield steamroller. Prints are only available during the event and raise funds to support SFCB workshops, exhibitions, and free public programming.
Event info:
375 Rhode Island Street between 16th & 17th Streets
Sunday, September 24, 2023 :: 11 am – 4 pm
This event is free and open to the public.
I am showing a new collection of paintings at Resurrect, one of my very favorite shops in Oakland. There will be a short but sweet opening reception on Saturday, May 20th from 4 – 6pm. Come say hi!
In this new painting collection, I revisit my signature animal silhouettes, incorporating a fresh palette of muted spring colors against pure black backgrounds. Subjects include salamanders, snakes, foxes, and more!

I’m doing a new art show at an.ä.log Gallery in San Francisco, located in the Mission. This time I’m showing with the amazing papercut artist Bianca Levan. Her work is amazing- and even more incredible in person. Please come by and see!
I’m part of an upcoming show at Anälog Gallery in San Francisco opening November 8th, 2019. I’ll be showing all new work, all of which will be available for purchase. Please contact Anälog for details.
I’m so excited to share my new book. Written by Eliza Robertson and Published by Greystone Kids, this is the first book that I’ve illustrated that has my name on the cover! It was a struggle, but I’m so pleased with how the illustrations came together. As a bonus, I got to spend lots of time researching wolves and checking out lots of wolf books from the library. Find Spur, a Wolf’s Story here or inquire at your local independent bookstore.
I was long overdue for a website refresh, so here it is! Though I had been avoiding the tedium of looking through new and old work, the process actually gave me a lot of insight into what I really like in my own work and what I'd like to make in the future. As much as I like to keep creating and not dwelling on old projects, digging through so many images was unexpectedly fun. There were old images I found that I've been dying to revisit, and some pretty cool sketches for screen prints that got lost in the shuffle. I kept stumbling across photos of paintings I had forgotten about, and pieces I had never scanned sitting in drawers. There were some pieces that I found embarrassing (either old or poorly made), but that reminded me of where I was and who I was when I made it. I think about my old studio apartment in downtown Oakland where I lived when I started my Etsy shop, the first time I tried Holbein acrylic gouache, the period when I went to Mission Grafica on Wednesdays to burn my screens, the first Renegade Craft Fair I participated in, and so on. Side note: I'm a hopelessly nostalgic person. Finally, under all the piles and amongst all the renegade JPEGS hiding on my computer, I've gathered a selection of images of which I'm proud to say, "I made this!".
Next it's time to clean up my studio.
