CURRENT & UPCOMING

When Covid-19 began hitting the U.S., I was feeling unraveled. The promising spring was becoming a series of cancelations, disappointments, and with it a bout of depression. I needed structure, something to get me out of bed, so I started this project of creating a small landscape each day and selling them for $25 each. They consist of places I've been with those I love or of abstract memories. They brought me comfort and allowed others to bring art into their home during financial uncertainty.
