I would like to showcase a piece of art weekly from the "Tension & Tenderness" exhibit with Lisa Walcott at FLEXgallery.⁠ ⁠ The completed artwork "Striped Plaid" and the series draws inspiration from the designs, colors, and hang of rugs and tablecloths, as well as their spatial relationship.

Yes, as the stability of the world seems to be unraveling, the art world isn’t immune and I’m feeling the impact too.⁠ ⁠ Coming in late September, I’ll be releasing a special, limited—edition set of 50 gradient-glazed cups and 50 flower-themed saucer plates, each one unique and priced at $50.

I will be one of the artists exhibiting a collection of original interior and furniture paintings and prints as part of the ArtClvb Detroit Warehouse Art & Design Fair ⁠ September 19–21 Boyer Campbell Building⁠ 6540 St. Antoine, Detroit, MI 48202 19th, 6-9 20th, 12-7 21st, 12-5

One flower we can never grow is sunflowers because the deer and rabbits eat the stems before they can bloom. So I always love to find a cheap bouquet of sunflowers. ⁠ Farm Stand Bouquet 1, 2025, watercolor and flashe on Arches paper, 14 x 11, unframed.⁠ ⁠ available⁠ ⁠ ⁠
