spring cleaning
it’s time to clean out the studio! on monday i will be releasing a wood burning, a few post-its from the giant robot show as well as a few framed and unframed original watercolors through my etsy shop. these are all one-of-a-kind pieces, once sold, that’s it! ^_^ its a perfect time to grab an original as i will most likely not do this again for awhile ^_^
have a lovely day!
wood grain
last night i joined a bunch of other female artists at 111 minna for sketch tuesdays. being inside a community of creators, in a space full of art is really lovely. i decided to create mini wood burnings and while i was burning the first piece i thought about how the process of creating art is just as beautiful as the finished piece.
as i started the second piece (and normally i don’t burn two pieces in one sitting and my fingers were definitely aching at the end) i saw that beneath my work, there was an additional pattern coming through the wood grain. in a way, i felt that the wood was collaborating with me to create layers of art. the relationship that develops with a medium, whether its sketching on paper, painting on the computer, or burning wood may not be visible, but its there – in each shade, shadow and line.
those are the things that make me truly love art.

these friends of mine + solo show
this is a teaser from my upcoming solo show at rare device! i’m super excited about it – i will have limited edition illustrations and original wood burnings.
a brief description: “These Friends of Mine” explorations of our secret companions through whimsical, colorful illustrations and “Unraveled” intricate and playful wood burnings.
the opening reception will be on september 9th, hope to see you there!
this little pig
i’ve been working a lot – so i’m going to take a few days away from the computer (and the daily drawings) to work on some wood –
but before that, i’m going to chase the sun through the city ^_^
be back soon!
burnt
i have been exploring wood burning – here is my first finished piece, and one in progress. i hope to complete a large number of these next year ^_^
i hope you’re having a lovely day!
