Super excited to announce that I will be showing some of my drawings and paintings this December at Gallery 205 in Columbia, TN.  Come on by if your in the neighborhood!

Here are a few pictures from the show.  I was too busy talking to get any photos with Laura or any other of the wonderful people I met that night.  The evening was so fun. I am a pretty shy and reserved person and don’t care much to be the center of attention, but the opening was a really good time. I think the people I met in Columbia, TN were the reason for the good time. Everyone was so welcoming and supportive.

People were asking curious questions about my process of making the stencil paintings and commented a lot on how colorful and playful they were.

One thing I loved and found ironic was hanging up my binder clip illustration with an actual binder clip. The picture is below, so you can see what I meant. How meta is that? And I met a woman who said the spool of thread drawing reminded her of all her mother’s sewing supplies. It made her happy to remember such a nice memory. Hearing that made me so happy. That’s the reason I make the playful art that I make, to bring people a sense of joy.

 

INSTALLATION DAY

Yeah! I got my stencil paintings successfully hung up in the Ponce City Market West Elm.

it was a bit awkward installing the paintings during the middle of the day while the store was open, but I went first thing when there were less shoppers around. All in all it was a pretty quick and easy installation. I am happy with my wall and how these paintings all look together and I think they look great in combination with the West Elm aesthetic: modern, clean and simple.

Please come out and say hello tonight. There will be free beer on tap from The Tap on Ponce.

You can’t really ask for a better night- fun art and free beer. Come say Hi!
