KSL Studio History

 For new visitors to this site, here are some throw back photos of where I make work in Seattle. This studio remodel was designed and ventilated specifically for encaustic painting, and textile printing and dyeing. It was not a quick project and had many different phases before completion. 

KSL Studio, Seattle WA.

While Supplies Last

This is a shout out post to my friend Anthony White, an artist/curator @culturalcrisis and graduating senior at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. For March 8th he curated While Supplies Last @wsl_art, a reoccurring group art show presented by Studio e at Amandine Bakeshop Mezzanine for the Capital Hill Art Walk in Seattle. It featured 107 artists....was highly attended....too many to count! So much fun.....a great time and I will continue to contribute my works on paper for future events. 

Thanks Anthony!

Winter Stillness

Really enjoyed this quick winter snowfall.....not stormy or windy....just still and peaceful. We walked the neighborhood late at night to catch it's brief visit. 

Happy New Year!

2017 was a very full year....I exhibited work at the Museum of Encaustic Art in Santa Fe, NM. and the Bellevue Art Museum in Bellevue, WA. At Cornish College of the Arts, I had the best year working with super talented Art, Design, Film, and Interior Architecture students work toward and install their BFA thesis exhibitions. In the summer I had the best time teaching the youth program at Pratt Fine Arts Center. Then this past fall, I started an additional role managing the main gallery at Cornish College of the Arts which included the exhibition Platforms of Exchange. So with a reflective mood today, I am really looking forward to a dynamic year ahead and gearing up for a very busy and creative time in my studio as well as the Cornish studios!
