The Story Behind This Summer’s Print Release

Redfish Lake Print

I'm thrilled to announce my summer print release–Redfish Lake, will be available May 26-June 4, 2023!

If you know Idaho, there’s a good chance you know Redfish Lake. If you backpack in Idaho, it’s a guarantee you know the area- it’s a portal to some of my home state’s most iconic hikes and other outdoor activities.

I've spent many days and nights backpacking in this special area, so when I got asked to create a custom piece commemorating the lake, I was beyond thrilled at the prospect of working on this project. My clients wanted a piece dedicated to this unique destination that would hang in their brightly-lit condominium in Ketchum, Idaho.

The piece reminds us of our mystical connection to the outdoors.

Artist Residency Announcement

The Common Well

I'm very excited to announce a summer residency at Garden City, Idaho's latest creative league and co-working club, The Common Well. This May, June and July, drop in for a studio visit, or keep an eye out for various shows and events happening at the space this year... I have some magical and exclusive art events in the works with The Common Well that I am very excited to announce soon.

Aside from being a super well designed space, there's a solid batch of talented, creative folks working to realize a unique vision for the artistic community in Garden City there. It's worth booking a tour or coming to one of the shows - you'll walk away inspired or your money back.


Sneak Peek: Can you believe it? My Father Once Told Me will be available soon!

My Father Once Told Me Interior Spread

At long last! I can't believe it myself, but My Father Once Told Me the book and prints will be available for sale soon. I can't release anymore details than that, but please stay tuned to my Studio Friends newsletter, because I will announce more details here first.


New work out now for Scientific American's podcast, Science Quickly!

Science, Quickly podcast by Scientific American

I've had the pleasure of working on several projects for Scientific American over the years, the most recent of which is a podcast rebrand! I created the animated illustration you see here, and more subtopic art pieces are underway and will be released soon.


 

Monthly Vibe

I discovered the sublimity of  Simon Marchner 's work a while back and have been wanting to share his art for a while now. His compositions are simple and graceful, and the way he uses light is borderline haunting, but makes you feel so serene.

Furry Assistant

My furry assistant, Roast Beef the cat has been striking some particularly dramatic poses lately. I hope she knows how helpful it is to have a cat draped over my knees.
