Getting Ready
While I wish that I had all of my work photographed before I got to my interview at the gallery on Sunday, I’m pretty excited at how well everything is going.

I am a full-time art director in manufacturing who is working toward becoming a full-time artist. This blog is about my work and my process. The 'Pie' tab is about my favorite muse, which is another story altogether.
