“to bits and pieces” – solo show at CMD:P Gallery in Pioneer Square!!

Happy 2014!

{Warning – Image HEAVY!}

I’m a little late on this, but I currently have a show up at CMD:P Gallery down in Pioneer Square! The opening was last week, and I got to see lots of my favorite people, so thank you so much for making it by! If you didn’t get a chance to come see the space, the work will be up until the end of January. You can even just walk by and look through the windows!

This body of work was rather experimental – as usual it was under a time crunch, so I set parameters early: I found some amazing handmade watercolor paper at the Artists and Craftsman Supply store up in the University District – and picked up a pile of small pieces, and a few large ones. I had no idea what these were going to become, but two weeks later, and after destroying the studio, here are 12 new pieces! All done with charcoal, sumi ink, acrylic and of course, the cut-fabric flowers.

I rang in the new year with the first flu I’ve had in years and years, up to my ears in scraps of work and small projects. I’m very happy and can’t wait to see what happens next! I hope the start to your year was beautiful, and that it only gets better –
