Using a specialized software, I create fractal geometry which I layer, color, and texture to create complex organic feeling scenes. My work almost looks as if it could be a photograph, but it is created from scratch all based off the mathematics. All work is printed in limited editions.

Using acrylic on gallery wrapped canvases keeps my transitional landscapes more contemporary in feeling. I love to incorporate metal paint and hand made paper into the design of the landscapes.

I create one of a kind and limited production felted art to wear. The work begins with wool that is sustainably harvested from organically and ethically raised sheep. Other textiles, are used, mostly silks. About 60% of the silks are from deconstructed garments with the other 40% being new silks that have sometimes been dyed or hand printed or commercially printed. The work is created seamlessly; there is no sewing except as a means to tack and stabilize the garment before the felting process begins. The garments are created mathematically. Through experimentation and noting the variable shrink rates for the combination of wool and various textiles, I can create garments that are beautiful and well fitted. Multiple felting techniques are used in the making of the garments, these include: wet, seamless, needle felting, variable shrink, 3-D resists and laminate methods. In the dye work the techniques that are employed are immersion, painting, Shibori and clamp resist printing.

Hello! I am an illustrator and painter, and I live in Minneapolis Minnesota, with my husband, Luke, and our dog, Nana. I have been creating art for as long as I can remember and I am so lucky that I am able to share my passion with others. I love the outdoors and being in nature, and my art is reflective of that.
My work is significantly inspired by nature and the fluid line, pattern and design found within the natural world, if you only look close enough. I work with watercolors and gouache and am enchanted by the loose and unpredictable nature of the medium. I work on cold pressed paper and use flat washes, as well as wet-on-dry and wet-on-wet methods to create beautiful watercolor washes and perfectly unexpected blooms. I love the fact that I only have so much control over what the water and pigment will do once my brush hits the paper, watercolor blooms are my favorite surprise when I paint.

I use green wood from the area surrounding my shop to create bowls. The bowls are turned using the once turned technique, I turn the wood while green to final size and shape then put aside to dry. While drying it moves and distorts. Once dry I embellish the bowl and then apply finish.

I create wheel-thrown stoneware or porcelain pottery. The pieces are functional and oxidation fire to cone 6-8. Pieces are meant for everyday enjoyment; the joy of the piece comes from use for display, cooking, or entertaining. The pieces are food and oven safe.

I have a passion for discovering the connections between ourselves and our natural world & the interconnectedness of all things. My work is both whimsical and earthy. I am a painter and illustrator. I find joy in the discovery of shared experiences and creating windows into the stories I see and imagine. I paint with acrylics on prepared cradled board, watercolor, and collage, on stretched canvas, or paper. My favorite subjects are often what you could easily find and see around you, bringing attention to the wonder of ordinary.

Segmented wood turnings. Wood is cut into precise shapes, assembled and turned on lathe. Cut and polished semi precious stones are used occasionally within my work. All colors and grains are natural.

My work draws inspiration from mid-century modern architecture and design, and I focus on revealing beauty in wood furniture and decor with simplicity and minimalistic ideals.

In a unique process copper wire is hand molded and fused at high temperature with tin. Then alloys are applied, reheated, and worked for texture. The tree is mounted into rock and finished with patinas, resin, and/or metal leaf.

I work primarily with color-reduction woodcuts printed with oil-based ink on Rives BFK paper. All blocks and plates are carved and/or built by me. I also hand-ink and pull all of my prints. I do not create any reproductions of my work and my editions typically number 16 prints or less. Color-reduction woodcuts involve carving and printing the same woodblock in sequence for each layer of color on the print. This process is also called a “suicide print” because the block is destroyed through the action of successive carvings thus rendering the edition finite. I occasionally incorporate collagraph between the layers of my woodcuts to add textural elements. Collagraph is a process where I create a low-relief collage on a printing plate using materials that can be safely run through a press (plants, sand, gesso, etc.). I print collagraph plates in an intaglio method, where ink is wiped into the crevices of the collage and off the surface and then printed, transferring the ink and texture to the print.
In every print ever made, there is a history of process, a story told in wood and ink, paper and pressure. These mechanisms of printmaking guide my hand, while my heart is inspired by the wonder of nature. The marrying of these two passions has informed my art as I seek to explore the intersection of humanity and nature in a world where nothing is untouched by man or womankind.

The soft breeze, a magnificent sky, the cool water......All elements that drive my creativity along with a light touch of the paintbrush, feeling of peace and sense of place. As a child of the Great Lakes I grew up with a landscape of water, woods, rocks and a sense that everything around us is so much larger and more mysterious then we will ever comprehend.

I use pastels, oil and charcoal to create realistic landscapes that I then smear with a squeegee, which gives the sense of velocity and the fleeting nature of things.

Steel is fabricated using benders, welder and plasma cutter. Every piece is hand cut. once the steel is welded together, we inlay tiles which are created using clay, resin and our own 15 colors of glaze. Multiple firings create these unique tiles. Once completed, the tiles are cut and inlayed into the steel. The tiles are then grouted and sealed. The metal is then patina'd.
