Acrylic

Likely one of my favorite mediums to use given its versatility, but its environmental effects as a plastic are something I'm grappling with.

Drawing

a college professor - John Pearson - called every work of art a drawing, and as technology expands, I certainly feel like the definition of "drawing" becomes looser and looser.

Watercolor

Once upon a time, watercolors were my least favorite medium. I'm grateful for mentors who modeled how to be mindful and peaceful while using this medium, and who gave me permission to break the rules of watercolors.

Environment & Nature Journaling

I try to carry a sketchbook with me when I go camping or hiking, and many of these images were created with the water from the lakes, rivers, or streams onsite.

Mixed Media

When asked what my preferred medium is, I have to say "mixed media." Restrictions in media do not appeal to me, and it is truly rare that any work of art that I create is made from one single medium.

Broken Branches

in October 2007, I suffered a traumatic brain injury and had to retrain my brain to "talk" to my hands, which was particularly terrifying for a college senior double-majoring in Studio Art and design-focused Theater who relied on fine motor skills.

Costume

The examples here are just a start. As a college theater major, it was said that - given some twine and chicken wire, I could produce a beautiful gown, and while that may have been a stretch, it wasn't a huge one.
