Love that lab and the work they do. Itโ€™s the only place I send my medium format rolls.

Itโ€™s hard to pin down just one. Top of the list have to be Thelma and Louise, my backyard chickens. Hands down the sweetest, silliest and best girls around. In second place are probably Mourning Doves for their sweet demeanor and close-knit family dynamics. And in third are hummingbirds.

Four new pieces for an upcoming show at Nucleus Portland. These will be available in June for the annual SALUT! group show.

For those wondering, I used Nitramโ€™s Liquid Charcoal which is essentially an erasable hybrid between charcoal and watercolor.

I fully agree. What a relief to be able to post what do without fear of censorship.

This body of work is an ode to time in Southern Appalachia, punctuated by Hurricane Helene and its aftermath.

The opening is from 5-7pm and all are welcome.

Showing a little love to these small painting studies I did of Poppy a few years back.

Sometimes the smallest pieces are the most special.

Each piece is 5โ€x7โ€ (12.7 x 17.78 cm) watercolor and gouache on paper.

Living through Hurricane Helene, Iโ€™m feeling a certain way about watching another city I love be decimated.
