Right after Spring Break, two Print 2 classes trekked down to Belle Isle to start a new project. My class focused on this one structure on the island. We were told to come up with a pretend event tha...

A few weeks ago I weathered my first hurricane since living on my own. The next day I was tired of feeling so cooped up and went to open the window to let in some fresh air. To my surprise I found a ...

Good news! I’ve had a couple of pieces accepted to the “Pulp” show at Visual Art Exchange in Raleigh. It’s the same gallery where I exhibited my Vandal sculpture last Septembe...
Today I present to you more sketchbook zombies. I used a different scanner this time which produced a bit of a grainier image than what I am used to, but I think it is actually quite fitting for this...
Just realized I never posted pictures from VCU’s Anderson Gallery, as promised! It was a great show and very packed with people on the opening night. There was not only design work, but also fi...
Applying to college can be very confusing and stressful. Applying to art school is even more stressful, mostly because of the added requirement of a portfolio of your best artwork. I applied to Virgi...
If you’ve never been to Artsplosure, it’s basically what it sounds like: An explosion of art in downtown Raleigh. It’s centered around Moore Square park, with rows and rows of both...
Wish I had time to do more of these, but I thought I’d show you one image I made. I decided to be nice this time and give this girl an ‘idea’ rather than making her look like a zomb...
This morning I went to the VMFA to take pictures to be used as part of an Imaging project. The building is so beautiful and I thought I’d share some of my photos with you.

I’ve been meaning to make a post with some photos of my apartment for a while. The pictures you’ll see here are sort of mixed. Some are a little more artsy because they were taken for sch...
Happy National Pancake Day! Yesterday I purchased a Life magazine from 1940, and I was flipping through it this evening when I happened upon this timely Spamcakes ad. The magazine’s so big I co...
I don’t know if very many people know about my background in fashion. I mention it sometimes, but today you’re really going to see what I’ve done. I became interested in sewing when...
New Imaging 2 project! This is the first project of this semester to be completely finished. I was assigned nut + bolt and was given a list of around 20 adjectives. We were to create posters by takin...
Last semester all of the sophomore graphic design students worked on self portraits. I should start off by saying that my professor John Malinoski directed me in how to get started on the portrait an...
I think it is a little to easy to make models look like zombies. When did it become fashionable to schlump? Does that really sell clothes? Why do people want to buy clothes from these sad girls?
Last October I went downtown to take some photos. I didn’t have a theme in mind at first, but as I took photos my theme became light & shadow. It was fun to find all the geometric patterns ...
Yesterday I made a goal to take at least one photo every hour and I nearly stuck to it. I got the idea from bleubird, a blog I’ve been reading for a while. You should check it out, you might li...
