Lines / Grids / Patterns ZINE

Lines/Grids/Patterns Zine from the Sketchbook Project, designed by the fabulous Flight Design Co. 

The Brooklyn Art Library, home of the Sketchbook Project has just published a series of curated Zines featuring work from artists around the world. I'm thrilled that my sketchbook from 2011 (based on my love of the chairs in Jardin des Tuileries in Paris) was included in the Lines / Grids / Patterns edition.

Website update!

A long overdue website update. What's new? The full process and final edition of the color reduction prints Ode to Pluto, a new and ongoing drawing series Not a Circle, and the dizzying Razzle Dazzle book.

I've also updated and expanded the Sea of Lines drawing series and the Ephemeral section!

Check it out!

Spring has sprung...and my favorite daffodils and crocuses are blooming after a very long and harsh winter. They are a welcome sight indeed!

Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness
It took me years to understand
That this, too was a gift.
