bicycle sidecar project - phase 1!

With the baby around the corner and an almost 4 year old to take into account I realized it is time for me to finally create the sidecar for my bike that I have been dreaming of! I have been sketching up some plans and I am lucky enough to have a lot of resources available, primarily my dad who can build pretty much anything so I have high hopes that this project will turn out well.



Phase One consisted of us building the basic frame structure of the sidecar base and getting the stock cut for the sides.

ArtPrize 2013!

This is my first year participating in ArtPrize. If you are unfamiliar with ArtPrize it is a show that basically takes over the downtown area of Grand Rapids, MI for 3 weeks. Artists submit work and venues choose them and curate their own shows.

My piece "powerless" is being show at the Fountain Street Church. The show there is themed "Art to Change the World: Inspiring Social Justice". The church is gorgeous and the show was probably my favorite of all I saw at ArtPrize so I am very proud to have been included.

Fashion Week

I am so excited for my (soon to be) brother-in-law who is working behind the scenes with MAC cosmetics for Fashion Week in New York this week! How amazing would that be?? I can't wait until he returns home so I can get all of the good fashion week gossip!

old work...new work

Once upon a time people used to enjoy things like drawing each other in coffee houses. It was a good idea.

new work, sketching on canvas

I was able to do some sketching on canvas while Eamonn painted in the studio yesterday. I'm really eager to see where my new project ends up.
