Traditional Artwork
One of my main goals is to make hand-painted original art more accessible. I create hand-painted work on a variety of media, from river stones to foraged wood. I prefer to use acrylics and markers on either wood or glass. Most paintings are between one foot-to-five feet tall, and often feature contrasting colors and nature-based themes. Smaller paintings on stones, though, can be down to a half-inch tall!
Product Examples
I create a variety of different items and products featuring my artwork. From prints to headwear, pillows to zines, I love finding unique things to display my artwork. I always work with companies with eco-based practices and focuses.
Publications
I create a variety of books with my work. My primary joy is adult coloring books featuring creepy nature-based themes. I also create TTRPG-based math guides about how to do the mathematics of table top games.
Projects
I have done a variety of projects across different media. I have been featured as a guest artists as Grand Rapids locations, created murals for ArtPrize, Lions and Rabbits Storm Drain Project, and the Grand Rapids Wealthy Street Project, and have worked on collaborative projects with other artists. Please reach out for any interest in working with me on a project.
Oddities
Bone and antler are very fun for me to paint and draw on as well. Most artwork is created with acrylic and marker. I create on ethically sourced and foraged bone and slices of foraged antler shed.
Note: these items will only appear at events specifically catered to this type of environment. I'm very aware that not every show desires this sort of item for sale.
Booth Photos
Because a large portion of my artwork is hand-painted, my setup often changes drastically depending on stock! I'm always hard at work painting for my next upcoming show. These are a few recent booth photos to show examples of set-up styles I may employ.
