Sorry for the absence of blog posts we have just a few weeks of studio time between trips and we are both making the most of it!

Kyle is back in the recording studio with his band The Hardship Letters to finish up recording their debut album. The first four songs sound amazing and their live performance last night sounded better than ever. If those are an indication of what we can expect from the album we are in for a treat!

And I’ve just completed the digital mock-ups and am waiting for approval on three different commissions. Continue reading »

Come see me!

While most art festivals in the country limit the work that an artist may show, Des Moines Arts Festival actively encourages artists to continue to grow and explore their art form between the time of application and the opening day of the festival.

As is often the case at a really busy show, I was only able to see what was in the route between my booth and the bathroom. Luckily that did include one lovely little garden that I can share with you.
