My work provides an optimistic view of technology’s role in shaping our identity and relationships with each other. The subjects are strangers to me, just as they are to the viewer of the finished work. Being a visual artist, I use my eyes to learn about the person, and in the process find commonalities between us. Knitting (a form of binary code) is included because of its continuous flow of fibers that mirrors our interconnectedness as people. These pieces are created using new and old machines. Incorporating technology in the process reflects my life with metal implants; as I am a balance between organic and inorganic so should my art. #drawing #art #knitting #digitalart #creativereels #digitalartforbeginners #arttiktoks #artandcraft #artist #knittingforbeginners #knittingmachine #knittingdesigns #drawingdog #dogdrawing #artstudio #artstudiotour #portraitart #womandrawing #mandrawing #lifedrawing

I was lucky enough to get my BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Here are my top 5 great things about art school: 5 The classes are diverse. There were classes that were focused on the nuts and bolts of different techniques and there were others that revolved around certain concepts. Even the academic required classes like your math and science are brought back to artmaking. 4 access to equipment. If you want to try a medium that uses specialized equipment do it now cause its hard to find or afford the equipment after art school 3 cuddling up with a hot coffee in a dim classroom watching an art history presentation when it’s cold windy and snowy outside. 2 the teachers and critiques will challenge you. You may end up leaving art school more confused about the direction of your art but ultimately it’s good and will make you a better artist in the end. 1Everyone there is interested in making art so the atmosphere is inspiring. I had a career in galleries and museums before making art full time and even still I haven’t been surrounded by as many artists daily as I was in art school. Those conversations and creative energy are everything.
