This is just one scene explaining why, back in 1996, that WA state captured my heart, Deception Pass bridge view. On our way to the San Juan islands! #washingtonstatescenery #breathtakingviewseverywhere #deceptionpassbridge #swirlingwater #hiddenharborseals

A visual exploration of Lake Ontario through fragments of the cities that surround it. Using aerial imagery, cartographic references, and geographical coordinates, the work investigates the relationship between territory, identity, and the names we assign to places.
Digital photographic and cartographic collage, printed on paper and framed. 40 cm x 40 cm

A big thank you to @mlmgraphic for inviting me to participate in It’s Called Lake Ontario. I’m grateful to be part of this exhibition and to share my work alongside other artists.

Apologies, Apologies, if I am repetitive, but hear me out, these are not times for silence. Let your voice be heard, share your opinions, show your art, whatever format it is. Our nation is a disgrace. Our "president" is a compromised, unqualified, convicted, con man, and his despicable party, the GOP, are useless eunuchs. Our nation has NEVER been perfect, I would never sell you that lie, these are different and dire times.

For whatever it's worth, for whatever you believe in, GET OUT AND VOTE, hopefully you'll vote for the right side of history, whatever your choice, VOTE.

One last thing to remember, this current administration and the entire castrated Republican Party couldn't give a shit about you, me, our families, our nation, our laws, your religion, your health, your education, your future, your culture, your dark complexion, your sexual orientation, they want to keep women in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant, I could go on & on, bottom line: fuck Donald Trump, fuck the Republican Party.

Got to have my piece At the Water’s Edge in It’s called Lake Ontario, a show curated by @matt_vanderlee and @mlmgraphic at Frank’s Chop Shop. If you missed the opening, it’ll be up all month, so you still have time to check it out.

Right after leaving the show we ended up seeing a raccoon, which felt pretty fitting 😂 Thought I’d also share another piece I finished over the summer and a sketch I’m currently working on.

Excited to get back into painting and see where it takes me.

At the Water’s Edge

When most people think of a Great Blue Heron, they picture it standing still at the water’s edge, patiently waiting for the right moment to strike a fish from above with its powerful beak. But fish aren’t their only prey. Herons will also hunt and eat snakes.

In this piece, the snake represents Donald Trump and the way I see his influence slithering through our government and into the natural spaces that belong to all of us. Changes involving our National Parks, BLM lands, and even the names tied to the waters and landscapes around us made me think about how quickly places we see as permanent can become political.

The herons represent nature pushing back. They surround and consume the snake, turning the relationship between predator and prey into something symbolic. At the Water’s Edge is about protecting the land, water, and wildlife that were here long before any administration and will hopefully remain long after one.

Raccoons figured out city living faster than most of us did. 😂

‘I Stand On Your Shores’ Mixed media assemblage, 15x32” My work for the exhibition IT’S CALLED LAKE ONTARIO, co-curated by myself and Matt Vanderlee. Opened last night at Frank’s Chop Shop ROC. Using found detritus from the beaches of Lake Ontario near my home. Most items collected in 2018 when the lake levels were high and the piles of ‘beach gems’ were in abundance. Included are: sand, stones, seed pods, bird skull, vertebrae, worn cans (a Genesee beer can bottom), bottle cap and pull tab, beach glass and pottery fragments, and mixed tumbled plastics. Attached to vintage map from the mid 60s, with collaged maps, pencil marks, silver sharpie, and vintage pencil text. Mounted on cardboard on plywood and framed with a vintage wood frame spray painted in layers of silver and aqua.
