Here are some random things I have been working on for some upcoming shows.

24×24 hand painted on 1/2 inch wood.
15×15 screenprinted on 1/2 inch wood.
22×24 screenprinted on 1/2 inch wood.
The above photo is from the Salvador Dalí opening at The High Museum of Art here in Atlanta. Eleven Atlanta artists were asked to work on dresses that would be shown during the opening party. When I was first approached about being in the show I was going to say no but I am glad I did it. I decided to push myself and get out of my comfort zone. The design isn’t out of the ordinary for me but working on a dress and being involved in a show with that high of a profile was a new thing. I was unsure about how this would end up but now that it’s over I’m pretty happy with how my dress turned out. The High was packed and from what I heard they had to turn tons of people away. In the end it was a fun experience. Thanks to all involved.

That super ball was bought from a vending machine in the lobby of the hospital on the day I was born . I have had that super ball for 40 years.
Today is my 40th birthday! I don’t usually make a big deal about birthdays but this one is one of those “big ones”.
I will keep this brief but I want to just say thanks to all the people that have shared their insight,given me advice and nudged me along the way. Seeing friends stick to their ideals and carve out a life of their own has been inspiring to me. It can be very tough and sometimes very scary to choose a path that’s not the normal 9 to 5. Now at 40 I feel like I am just hitting my stride.
So to all my friends who are on this journey with me I say I love you and thank you.
