UPDATE! From Door County, WI

Hello everyone! I know it has been long long time since i have updated this... i have been very busy this summer working at the Peninsula School of Art in Fish Creek, WI as their Youth Arts intern. It has been a great job, and sadly it will be ending in two weeks! After I move back to Milwaukee in the fall, i am going to kick it into high gear and create create create! I just moved into a new house where we have two extra (empty) rooms, so you know what that means.... STUDIO! i am so excited to set up my computer, easel, and sewing machine and never have to take it down! it will be great and give me a space to concentrate on art and only art!

So far this summer i have been working on a couple different projects. On August 21st i wil be in a show of young door county artists ( that i helped curate) at Peninsula School of Art. I will be posting a flyer for that show shortly... and maybe a sneak peak of the work i will be showing.

For now here is the latest: it was a project/auction piece for Habitat For Humanity.... the rules were, go to the rehab store and pick out a piece to recycle and make into something beautiful. this was my final submission:




you may recognize the prints used on these lamps from my thesis exhibition (color.layer.pattern.light.) this has been my new challenge..trying to find a second use for all of the paper i printed for that show and i am happy i found use for it in this project.
