Book covers need designers!!!!!

If you are writing a book, let a real person (like me 😉) design the cover so it truly represents your story and resonates with your audience.

Now booking design consults!

I opened my first solo gallery exhibition.

As a solo exhibiting artist, this moment meant more than just showing work. It meant standing inside something I’ve been building for years and sharing it for the first time.

My sons were there to witness it with me. That part matters the most to me.

I was honored with a proclamation from the Ohio State senate and received support from NAMI, which deeply aligns with the purpose behind this work and the work I've been doing all these years.

This exhibition is still open through May 1, and all pieces are available.

If you’re in Columbus, I’d love for you to experience it in person.

“Tales from the World’s Garden: An Earthwork Journal” now on view at Fresh A.I.R Gallery on North High Street in Downtown Columbus Ohio

❤️

As I get closer to the opening of this exhibition, I’ve been thinking a lot about how many people have supported my work over the years, whether that was by showing up, sharing a post, offering encouragement, or collecting a piece.

For this show, I’ll be offering a small series of 11x14 limited edition prints from the collection for anyone who would like to support the exhibition or take a piece of the work home with them.

Each print will be $65 and part of a limited edition series. Purchasing a print helps support the exhibition and future projects.

I’ve attached the images that will be available as prints so you can take a look through the collection.

If something speaks to you, feel free to reach out. And if not, sharing the post or simply coming to the opening means just as much.

Exhibition Opening:
April 1, 2026
5:30pm
Fresh A.I.R. Gallery
Columbus, OH

I’m really looking forward to sharing this work with everyone.

Thank you for continuing to support my creative journey.

I had the privilege to participate in hip hop, a black tie fair for the third year in a row over the weekend and I love that it continues to grow and evolve. Congratulations to the winners and a huge thank you to the Wheeling YWCA, the stifle Fine Arts Center s and all of their sponsors for putting on such a great event. The works included were absolutely amazing and a reflection of the times.

It also put me in a place where I'm reflecting and acknowledging the space that I am in and have been in 2026 especially as I'm preparing for Tales from the World's Garden to open. I won't tell my whole story on an Instagram post, but what I will say is that I've gotten to exercise my judgment and discernment in a lot of areas this year. I'm grateful to say I've gotten to get a deep understanding of what community and friendship actually are and what they look like to me. I've also gained clarity on the direction that I want to take my life.

Pittsburgh, McKees Rocks, I miss Y'all, I love you all, y'all have a special place in my heart, 🫶🏾❤️You're not perfect but you're progressing. Just know if you're fighting the good fight, I see you and I appreciate you. We'll see each other soon.
