Just wanted to drop some images of a couple of canvases I’ve done over the past year and a half. Trust me, I have more, but they still need to be photographed.
Follow the jump to see more of this lovely textile art.

I’m super excited to announce that I’ll be teaching this fabric and photo printing class at The Textile Center of Minnesota! I’ll be there Wednesday August 5th for the class! I’m super excited! Hopefully I’ll be able to get my classes rescheduled for that week that were supposed to take place this month at The Weavers Guild of Minnesota. I’ll post the class link as soon as I have it!

I know I haven’t posted much lately, but I swear it’s because I’ve been busy! I did get sidetracked by some health problems, but I’m back on my game! I really want to tell everyone what I’ve been working on, and now I have enough of it done that I can share!
I’ve been fabric printing! I know, that doesn’t sound super exciting, but trust me, it’s not like what you’re used to! I’ve been collaborating with two amazing artists: Beau Brokop, an amazing photographer and digital artist, as well as Cayton Cox, and amazing photographer. I’m making the fabric palettes, using my amazing quilting skills, obvs, and then printing their art on it! It gives a result that is astounding, as well as painfully beautiful to look at!
Over a dozen pieces are currently on display at Promise You Art House, and if you are in the 219 area this weekend, you should check out their event for the new show opening!
The featured image on this article is a piece from Beau Brokop, and it’s a 15″ by 15″ wall hanging quilt! It’s currently on display at Promise You Art House. I’ve printed about 50 of these images on fabric so far in sizes ranging from 5″ by 7″s to 24″ by 24″ wall hanging pieces. This is extra rewarding for me, because I’ve been thinking and dreaming this up for months! I started work on it in March, and I’ve just kind of exploded with it since then!
I’ve been printing on all sorts of fabric, and trust me, there were mistakes, and things that didn’t turn out, but for the most part I’ve made some amazing prints. I think I might even be teaching a class on it next spring in Minnesota! Also, anyone let me know of any places around Chicago or Northwest Indiana I can teach or lecture about it!
Check out some of the images I’ve been printing after the jump! Continue reading
Promise You Art House! You should all know this place! It’s one of my favorite galleries, and it’s right by my day job, so you know I’m a frequent visitor! I’ve had work here on and off for the past year, and you should definitely go and check it out!
They have an event this weekend that I’ll be lurking around at! It’s Highland, Indiana’s FIRST and ONLY tattoo-themed art gallery exhibit, and it is coming straight for your goosebumps courtesy of the Promise You Family and some of Northwest Indiana’s very best tattoo artists.
You can also check out my recently printed pieces there! Follow the jump to see those! Continue reading
