Safe Foods 2024 Aluminum foil, stone clay, Hershey’s kisses wrappers and plumes, found objects, cardstock, spray paint, acrylic paint, glass microbead paint inspired by David Seltzer, Sea Salt/Lemon Sage With celiac disease, every meal is a risk.

I got into printing, mainly block prints and linocut in 2023. Here’s some of what I’ve made so far. Most of what I’ve been printing is fruits and vegetables! I sold a few of these through ArtsWorcester at StART on the Street and Worcester Pride in 2023. See more of my art.
Trash Paintings, 2020-ongoing Mixed media art waste (often including acrylic, PVA glue, paper, cardboard, and Sculptamold) on canvas board In my series ‘Trash Paintings’, I only use materials left over from other art projects—unused acrylic paint lingering on the palette, sheets of half-dried glue from the morning after a papier-mache session, snippets of cardboard picked…

Here’s what I saw and did during my 2nd week of social distancing/quarantine/whatever you’d like to call it. My family and I are all doing well and staying in the house except for grocery and TP runs, walks around the neighborhood, and to hang out on the back patio.
My family and I have been staying home/away from others except for the rare grocery trip, to keep ourselves from being exposed to the COVID-19 virus and help flatten the curve. I’ve been doing a bunch of things to pass time. I made a t-shirt design. It’s also available as a tote bag, mug, a…
Here’s another from the archive: these promotional portraits of Sophia for their band Home Despot. This was a fun shoot! We went to Kelly’s Diner, a Ball Square staple, and shot in/near the Tufts Crafts Center, which is full of brightly colored surfaces and strange items to use as props.
