Mushroom Series


"Family," oil, charcoal, and wax on canvas, 2009, 22" x 28"
For one of my oil painting classes last quarter, I painted a series of pieces with mushroom subject matter. I've always been attracted to the aesthetic quality of mushrooms- the curves and colors. The paintings explore various textures and line qualities; combining abstraction with elements of realism. The paintings aim to evoke curiosity, mystery and nostalgia.

Sasquatch 2009


Kevin got me tickets to Sasquatch for my birthday last week! I've never been to the festival, so I'm pretty excited. The line-up is pretty enticing, looks like there a bunch of great bands (see above). We're going with his brother, Justin, and his girlfriend, Ivy. I'm looking forward to getting out in the open air, listening to music all day, and letting loose. Thanks, Kev. P.s. Kevin also made me an amazing birthday dinner. A recipe he made up- delicious, fresh salad with quinoa pasta, avocado, red leaf lettuce, kale, cukes.... ohhhh, he's a keeper :)
