It's so cool to see some of my ceramic works (center) translated into 3D-printed plastic with the help of the FLEXlab at Kendall. Part of the exhibition Tension & Tenderness.

See for yourself Oct 23, at 5 pm at the artists' reception.⁠

Thank you, Martin Milat, for the portrait from last week's ArtClvb Warehouse Art and Design Fair. I'm still reeling from all the wonderful comments and connections to my work.⁠

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
