Hotbed Benefit Art Auction 2017
Animal Kingdom, 28x40", acrylic on paper
Exciting, right?!
I made this painting especially for Saturday's annual Hotbed Gala in San Francisco.
Their art auction, curated by The Jealous Curator, will benefit Planet Hope and their mission to provide outreach and educational resources to homeless, abused, and terminally ill children. ♥
The event will be hosted by Sharon Stone and Todrick Hall.
I actually made two paintings so they could choose one for the auction. (I am a people pleaser and a Minnesotan, after all.)
The one on the right is in my Etsy shop. ;0)
Here are some process shots of the painting from my studio. A sketch (I never make sketches?!?), some under-painting (the horse was originally going to be on wheels), and the finished painting. Not shown: when I dropped and ripped it immediately after I finished the painting. (I repaired the tear and nobody will ever notice! SHHHH!)

Currently Available Works
UPDATE! 3/2/21
I FINALLY MADE MY OWN WEBSTORE!
Surely, it is filled with errors but it is live- a work in progress.
Visit my new store here:
I couldn't figure out how to do the shipping so I just included shipping costs in each item (AKA "free" shipping- lol)
In addition to my online shop I have some works available via:
- Enormous Tiny Art show at Nahcotta in Portsmouth, NH
- Paintings and prints via Sebastian Foster in Austin, TX
- 4 hand-painted clocks at Burnet Fine Art & Advisory in Wayzata, MN
- The MplsArt Sketchbook Project (live now!) and corresponding exhibition at Gamut Gallery in Minneapolis, MN (this spring!)
- A selection of Mini Prints at Visual Index in Winston-Salem, NC
Two professionally matted/framed hand-painted paper shooting targets- 19.5w x 29h".
I made these for the "Art is My Weapon Vlll" exhibition at Hennepin County Library - Minneapolis Central - a group show that would've featured MN creatives using art to raise awareness and spark social change around the issue of gun violence. Sadly, it was canceled due to Covid-19. ='0(
"Reclamation 1" & "Reclamation 2"
(The blue one is sold but I still have the orange one. I'm too scared to ship these because of the glass so I've removed them from my shop. If you are 55417 adjacent and want to pick it up...$500?
