A STATEMENT FROM THE ARTIST

My giant collages on canvas recontextualize the everyday miracles we take for granted. They’re also just gorgeous. Multitudes, etc. 

My process: I transform trash.

Think weathered encyclopedias, cookbooks, gossip rags, direct mailers, wall calendars, outdated medical textbooks, and local pubs with the most insanely graphic ads for belly fat removal. Humans create the trash, and I use the trash to make the art for the humans. It's really simple.

I also do commissions. So, if you’re obsessed with a certain dog, cat, or food and want a piece of art that straddles the line between beige-mom elegance and teen girl’s polaroid wall, send me a line

I'm also that pumpkin girl

That giant pumpkin in Palm Springs on Halloween... that was me. Made with a papier-mâché technique that stitched together newspapers, sparkling water boxes, old bedsheets, mailers, and lots of love. It was a sight to behold. Stay tuned for more sculpture work and festive decor — made out of trash, of course.

what is all this?

This is a website that sells real art for human people, made by a real human person. Each piece is fun and pleasing to look at because it was made with the intention of being fun and pleasing to look at. Art is subjective. Life is short. If you see a print or mug or something you like, consider buying it for yourself or your wife. She deserves a little treat.
