Crochet Therapy: Clothes I’m Too Fat to Wear and Other Stories
Foot Print currently on display at Murray State University I lived for 1 year in Winterville, Georgia in a beautiful house at the end of a dead-end road with a bunch of chickens, a whole lot of quiet, and one of my favorite red-heads, Brian Hitselberger. The house is owned by my very generous cousin […]
The Poetry of Unpacking
Sleeping 8 hours a night? Cooking elaborate meals? Catching up on long-lost projects?? What?!? It’s been so long since I’ve had the time to do any of these things. But since moving to Bowling Green, I’ve been blessed/cursed with a bit of free time. Free time also equals anxiety on my part, as I’m bred […]
Flocking to the Pump: One Day These Little Drawings Will Grow Up Into Prints
These photographs aren’t great, and they aren’t edited very well (sorry.) But I think these 2 drawings are done.

Art that Silences Owls
I want to be a writer of images, a player of pictures. I want to make art you read over and over, under the covers with a flash light, late at night. I want to make art like a poem: open as air but heavy with life– Art like deja vu Art like an itch […]
6′ x 9′ Foot Print in Progress
I’m currently working on this massive foot print for a trade with local artist Brad Wreyford and his adorable family. Brad makes awesome sculptural paintings. We can’t wait to have one of our very own! He already gave me a cute little painting as a down payment on the foot print. I look forward to […]
Recent Design Work
Blake and I recently did some work for a local screen print shop. My main contribution was the creation of these silly spooky bats: I also recently designed a handout detailing the first steps of creating a crochet chain stitch. This is the most basic crochet stitch, and it is used to start most projects. […]
