Woman With Blue Boots at the ANW 54th Artist Exhibit

I’m excited to share that my drawing, Woman With Blue Boots, will be part of the ANW 54th Artist Exhibit (Artists of Northern Westchester). The show opens this Sunday, March 30, 2025, from 2–4 PM in Croton-on-Hudson.

View the event flyer here.

After showing a lot of my collage work—often heavier in tone and material—I wanted to submit something different this time. Woman With Blue Boots is a colorful illustration that came to life alongside my Tiny Art Portraits, though at 8.5" x 11", she’s not exactly tiny.

She’s drawn with ink and marker on smooth paper—materials that are less stable over time, though I coated the piece with a UV spray for some protection. The loose, spontaneous feel of this drawing is part of what makes it special.

She’s also for sale: $125 framed, or $100 unframed. If you're in the area, come by the show!

(If you can’t make the show but are interested in purchasing this drawing, please email me for Venmo/Paypal info and I will ship it to you.)

Show Prep & The Process Behind My Collage Portraits

With my upcoming show approaching, I’ve been focused on framing, organizing, and making final decisions on what will be included. It’s always a mix of logistics and reflection—figuring out what fits together and seeing how the work holds up as a whole.

For both BEFORE AFTER BETWEEN and TRANSFORMATIONS, I’ve built each collage portrait from antique and vintage imagery sourced from Flickr’s extensive royalty-free archives. Old book illustrations, forgotten photographs, scraps of text—things that once had meaning to someone but have since been untethered from their original context.

None of these images were ever meant to be together, but now they form faces, expressions, and identities that feel whole. It’s a lot like memory—disjointed details coming together into a story, even when they don’t quite belong.

By searching, choosing, and assembling these pieces, I create new connections between them. Each fragment carries its own history, but together, they become something else. In a way, the work is about giving them a second life—letting these forgotten images take on new meaning now.

More soon as the show gets closer.

New Batch of Greeting Cards Available #moocards

I am in love with the quality of moo cards, and I use them almost exclusively when selling my art in card form. Here's my latest batch for the local birding and nature store, Feed the Birds.

This was a custom pack, so I don't have any more on hand, but please check out my cards in my Society6 shop or contact me personally to get your own custom batch. Thank you!

Art show at the local coffeehouse

Back in October, a friend in my town of Croton-on-Hudson suggested I show some of my watercolors at the local coffeehouse, The Black Cow.

With much gratitude, through the month of April, I am now having my first solo art exhibit since college. It feels pretty great. (:
