How I’m Still Winging It After Four Books? This pretty much describes my creative process. When I paint or sculpt, there’s that ugly middle stage. You know, when everything looks wrong and you question your life choices. Writing has…

Tonight’s the night — Pumpkin Painting Party!
I’ve been testing paints, brushes, and sealers all week (because apparently painting on a pumpkin is trickier than it looks). But I’ve got a game plan ready, and we’re going to have a blast turning these pumpkins into…

Two months, countless hours, and a whole lot of paint later… here we are.
This mural in Oil City has been one of the most challenging and rewarding journeys I’ve ever taken on as an artist. From the first sketch to standing on this ladder adding the final touches, it’s been pure magic watching the…
