“A Wish On The Wind” A fairy tale painted for the people of Springville. A giantess; ancient and wise, fell in love with the land she roamed. It supplied her with all the things she needed, and always gave without asking for anything in return. So in her years she wished to become a part of it forever. One day, the giantess came across a place where the moon wraps her cool and gentle, while the sun warms her in an embrace. She became so comfortable in the folds of the land and held it so tightly that eventually she fell into a deep sleep. While she gives her heart to the earth, She allows her body to become forever a place for creatures to roam and be given the fruits of her love. Like she was given, from the place she calls home. This tale represents the inherent connection humans have with the lands around them. In personifying the earth through the giant, I wanted to celebrate the way it provides so much for the living creatures that inhabit it. Details in the mural are pulled from images and research conducted on my trips made to Springville in the lead up to my residency, especially the mythological giants noted on Indigenous maps I studied at the Concord Historical Society.

“Portals for Nature” As we fill more space, just a reminder that it’s up to us to create new place for nature to grow. Allow our hands to bring life to any nook we can find. Be aware of the space you keep, and what we can do to be a conduit for growth. 7 story on brick- @sherwinwilliams and @montanacans_usa Thank you @thejuntohotel for having me, I can’t wait to see what else we create together.

“The Arrival” Thank you @2buckinvitational for having me! Louisville it’s always a pleasure. 💕 This songs for you @slugger_city_signs

“The Arrival”

Have fun with yourself and bring that energy into the world. This is totally a typical video of a blonde chick dancing, but more then that I don’t care! It’s a beautiful thing to shut off your brain and just be a little goofy. I’m comfy in my own skin. I hope everyone gets the courage to say that too. 💕 Go out into the world and bring some fun with ever step! Definitely channeling my inner @britneyspears ❤️ Just dance it out.

Words couldn’t even begin to describe my gratitude for this experience. So please, enjoy this recap video that brings me tears of joy. I love everyone I was so privileged to meet and work with. Thank you Springville for the memories, and thank you @buffaloakgartmuseum for allowing me to create in this beautiful town.

10 years of this adventure… 💕😳 I’m just getting started.

“You look like a Bull” Oil on Oak 12in x 12in A painting created for a group exhibition in LA! More details soon. I wanted to create a self portrait from the words people say to me. Being called a Bull doesn’t hurt my feelings, it just allows me to visualize the strong beast you believe me to be.

What an amazing adventure this has been! Thank you @pursuityourself For allowing me to take over your entire store for the month+ I was able to create a fun mural, install a bunch of art and also make my own custom line of Birdy Suits!! Holy shit, I’m still excited and in shock. The entire suit is custom to how I wanted it to look, down to the very stitching and cuts used. I also designed the lining inside! The Birdy suits are available NOW! Thank you for this awesome opportunity!! I love my suit and I can’t wait to rock it.

“The Dreamer” is a piece I painted for @thefort614 in the court yard. The Fort used to manufacture ladders for fire trucks back in it’s hay day. Today it hold inspiring creators who push the boundaries of art and collaboration. “The Dreamer” is a painting about growth and the mindset of looking towards the future.
