It’s time and it feels right. I’ve experienced tremendous growth since having my last solo art exhibit in 2013. And here we are, it’s 2022. I really don’t have words for what i want to say so instead, i’ve been making things, and doing things that make me happy and make me laugh and make me sane and make me make and make me make and make me make. I’m doing it because i want to and because i need to, there is no other choice :)

I’ve been at green door studio for 12 and I’m grateful for what it continues to provide me. this “solo” show is dedicated to my loving partner, family, friends & studio mates + all the badass artists who’ve supported me, encouraged me, and challenged me to be myself.

Come celebrate art, music, humans, small local business & weirdness. Dress up or dress down, your choice — the vibe: drippy jungle candy aliens, duh. I have new merch for sale along with original paintings & prints & who knows what else.

My opening reception is a one night, pop-up experience on August 5th from 6pm-2am. Authentic Mexican street tacos from Mama Tila’s, specialty cocktails from Après, and plant-based ice cream from Offbeat Creemee. Featuring a body painting experience by The Human Canvas and DJ Kanga on music + silent disco by OSNS Entertainment (silent disco taking place at both Green Door & Arts Riot starting at 8pm). Green Door Studio is located in the alley next to 28 Howard Street. 69% of all sales will be donated directly to Planned Parenthood and Pride Center of VT.
