Crafts
I love working with a wide variety of media, although my most recent work has been mainly textiles. From dying fabric, to embroidery, to quilting, I love getting to feel the process from start to finish. Due to the nature of textiles, most of my recent work has been very utilitarian. Even though they may never be displayed in a gallery, these crafts bring a splash of color and joy to everyday life.
Traditional Media
No matter what the medium is, I aim to have fun when I create. My drawing and painting style is very playful, exaggerating the unique characteristics of each subject. I like to tell stories with my art, as is evidenced by the "storybook illustration" style of much of my work.
Pet Projects
I frequently work collaboratively on projects with my husband, who is a writer. We are both very proud geeks, so you may notice many references to geek culture in our work. I find it fascinating how art and "geekery" are incorporated together. Whether it's fantasy or science fiction, films or video games, fan fiction or cosplay, the artwork created by geeks around the world never ceases to amaze me. My own geeky obsessions, including Star Trek, Disc World, and Dungeons & Dragons, have influenced my world view, and thus my art, in many ways.
