🎨 We’re In! Sac Open Studios This September

I'm excited to announce that I'll be participating in Sac Open Studios this September alongside the incredibly talented LeeAnee Chappell!

This annual, self-guided art tour—hosted by Verge Center for the Arts—is one of Sacramento’s most vibrant art events, connecting local artists with the community in a casual, open-door setting.

LeeAnee and I will be turning upstairs at Bella Bru Cafe into a pop up creative space to showcase recent works, share our process, and connect with visitors. Expect original paintings, prints, works on paper, and behind-the-scenes views of our unique processes.

Whether you're an art collector, fellow maker, or just curious about the creative process, we’d love to see you!

Hi friends,

I’ve started a newsletter to share more of what doesn't always make it online — the layered, messy, sometimes magical parts of making.

Expect a mix of sketchbook scribbles and finished prints, deep dives into my printmaking process, behind-the-scenes glimpses from the studio, and thoughts on artmaking, memory, place, and whatever is currently sparking curiosity. I’ll also share side projects I’m excited about — whether that’s collaborative work, artist books in progress, experiments with materials, or upcoming exhibitions and open calls.

If you’re into the rhythm of process, the story behind the work, or just want to follow along with a creative life in motion, I’d love to have you on the list.

It won’t be spammy or overly polished — just thoughtful updates every so often, straight from me to you.

Thanks for being part of it. Sign up below.
