Hey good-lookin…
Recently submitted this edition in PRINT AUSTIN 2015 handkerchief print exchange.
Recent woodblock drawing for a multiple color woodcut for a handkerchief exchange. I call her “Hey good-lookin” because she was.

Though I have missed my family backyard get-togethers and my breakfast dinners with my sweet friends back home, I can’t complain from the joy of knowing these spontaneous souls who have made my stay in Kansas a happy one. Tonight we eat and drink till we are merry and stomachs full of sushi. Bring on the semester of late nights art making, binders of student grading and constant shop duties. One last break…at least for now #sushiparties made by the sushi queen Laurel in her flannel and apron.
Back on track
Winter break has ended and it’s back to classes as well as back to teaching beginners printmaking: Intro To Printmaking. Super stoked to be back in front of the class. I even wore this lovely ceramic gem of a button, by the lovely ceramicist Joyce St Clair, to commemorate the start of the semester. #letsdothis #secondyear
Winter days
Spent the morning, like the past few mornings, waking up & walking the Bachman Lake trail with my sister. We paced ourselves for the long walk around the lake and soaked up the warm sun as we caught up on life. She inspires me, challenges me, supports me…it’s being present here with her and in my hometown where I gain my greatest inspiration for my art work. It happens when I am enjoying life loving my family and friends I am propelled with purpose.
So here we begin. Welcome to my blog and the beginning of my graduate journey at Wichita State University in Wichita KS. I have completed my first semester in Fine Arts and you find me presently on Christmas break back home in Dallas, TX.
Are you coming alongside?..all I know is this will be an adventure.
